  2. You should think about Medicare before you reach your 65th birthday. It includes knowing about the enrolment process, how it works, and more. It will be good to call a medicare advisor and seek the necessary help. In this article, we will explain a few important things about Medicare and its various parts. Keep reading to learn more. More about Medicare Medicare has four different parts, including Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. All parts provide certain coverages and are not the same in terms of cost. Let’s take a quick review of all these parts. You must learn these things if you are looking for medicare help for seniors. Part A: This part offers coverage for hospital care and related things. Part B: In this part, the insured gets covered for doctor appointments and outpatient medical care. Part C: This part provides the same benefits as Part A and Part B but with the help of private insurers. Part D: The last part offers coverage for prescription drugs.

  3. A detailed explanation of Medicare parts Part A offers coverage for inpatient hospital needs, home health care, and some nursing facilities. When we combine Part A and B, they are known as Original Medicare. Further, you don’t need to pay for Part A if you have paid Medicare taxes for a particular period of time when working. You have the option to buy the plan with a monthly premium if you fail to qualify for premium-free Part A. Moreover, talk to a medicare advisor to learn more about this Medicare part. Part B offers coverage for doctor visits, outpatient services, X-rays, lab tests, and preventive screenings. If you are already covered under a health insurance plan as an employee, you can take time to enroll for Part B. Private health insurance companies offer Part C insurance plans. This plan is also known as Medicare Advantage. It only takes care of your coverage and payment for your services, not the Original Medicare. Contact your medicare advisor to learn more. Part D takes care of the coverage for prescription drugs. You can only get this plan with a private insurer. That’s all.
