Many people are uncertain about their choices when it comes to enrolling in Medicare insurance.
There are 2 main ways to get your coverage – you can choose the traditional fee-for-service Medicare insurance, known as Original Medicare insurance, or a Medicare Advantage plan.
Medicare Advantage plans are similar to an HMO, which stands for Health Maintenance Organization, or a PPO, which stands for Preferred Provider Organization.
Original Medicare insurance consists of Part A – Hospital Insurance for in-hospital care, and Part B -Medical Insurance for outpatient services like doctor visits and lab tests.
Medicare Advantage, known as Part C, is a managed care option that rolls all the different parts of Medicare insurance into one.
And everyone on Medicare insurance is eligible for prescription drug coverage either from a Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan offering drug coverage.
