Medicare Part A
Medicare Part A is often called "hospital insurance."
It covers the costs associated with inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health care services. Essentially, Part A helps with the big expenses related to being in a hospital or needing skilled nursing care after a hospital stay. Most people don't pay a premium for Part A if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes while working.
Medicare Part B
Medicare Part B is often called "medical insurance."
It helps cover the costs of doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services, and some medical supplies. Think of it as the part of Medicare that helps you stay healthy and take care of routine medical needs outside of a hospital setting. Part B does require a monthly premium, and there may be a yearly deductible.
Medicare Part C
Medicare Part C is also known as "Medicare Advantage."
It's an alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans often include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D (prescription drug coverage) all rolled into one. Plus, many Medicare Advantage plans offer extra benefits like vision, dental, and fitness programs. Part C plans may have different costs and rules, but they're designed to give you more choices and added benefits beyond what Original Medicare provides.
Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D is all about prescription drug coverage.
It helps pay for prescription medications prescribed by your doctor. Part D plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans vary in cost and coverage, but they all help reduce the out-of-pocket costs of prescription drugs. Even if you don't take many medications now, having Part D coverage can protect you from high drug costs in the future. If you choose to forgo Part D without a different form of prescription insurance in place and then try to obtain Part D later, you will be assessed a lifetime penalty once you try to obtain the plan in the future. Like Part B, Part D requires a monthly premium, and there may be deductibles and copayments depending on the plan you choose.
