What is medicare?
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.2″]
– Medicare is the US government health insurance program created in 1965 and is called Original Medicare. It is made up of:
-
Part A, which covers in patient care in a hospital, skilled nursing facility care, inpatient care in a skilled nursing facility (not custodial or long-term care) hospice care and home health care.
-
Part B, which is medical insurance and generally covers preventive care, doctor visits, lab test, durable medical equipment, supplies and more.
- Part A and Part B come with deductible amounts, coinsurance and or copayments for most services. (Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) can help fill in these costs)

Why Do I need Medicare Supplement Insurance?
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.2″]
- Original Medicare will help cover medical expenses but does not pay all costs.
- Many people on original Medicare also buy a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan to help with Medicare Approved Amounts.
- For instance, Medicare only pays for 80% of the Medicare Approved Amount for most doctor services, outpatient therapy and durable medical equipment, while you typically pay 20%.
- A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy, can help pay your portion of such remaining health care costs, like such co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles.

Why would I need a supplement to Medicare if I already have Medicare?
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.2″]
- Medicare Supplement plans can help cover the costs of Medicare related expenses that are not covered by Medicare alone.
- For example, a Medicare Supplement Insurance plan can help to cover a charge that is not fully covered by Medicare.
- These charges are sometimes referred to as co-pays and/or co-insurance.

What is Medicare Part C?
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.2″ custom_margin=”||20px|||”]
– Medicare Part C (also sometimes called Medicare Advantage) is a replacement for Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B. The US government sets rules and guidelines, but private insurance companies sell and administer the plans.
– Medicare Advantage plans set the amounts they charge for premiums, deductibles and services. The Medicare Advantage Plan (rather than Medicare) decides how much you pay for the covered services you receive.
– Also, each Medicare Advantage Plan can charge different out of pocket costs. They can also have different rules for how you get services like;
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.2″]
- Whether you need a referral to see a specialist
- They can limit your choice of doctors, facilities or suppliers that belong to the plan for non-emergency or non-urgent care.
- Medicare Advantage plans try to prevent the misuse or overuse of health care through various means. This might include prior authorization for hospital stays, home health care, medical equipment, and certain complicated procedures.
- These rules can change each year.
