What is Medicare and Who Is it For?

Medicare is a national federal health insurance program that is administrated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It provides health insurance for Americans who are:

• 65 years or older
• Younger people with a disability status determined by the SSA
• People with End-Stage Renal Disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Your Medicare Options

There are four main parts of Medicare insurance:

• Part A (Hospital Insurance)
• Part B (Medical Insurance)
• Part C (Medicare Advantage)
• Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage)

Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B make up Traditional Medicare. Most eligible individuals are automatically enrolled in Traditional Medicare when they turn 65. Medicare Part C is known as Medicare Advantage and offers another way to get Original Medicare Part A and Part B coverage.

You Have Choices 

It's important to realize that individuals have choices when turning 65. Considering a Medicare Advantage plan may be your first step in receiving better care.
