(Hospital Insurance)
Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital care, including semi-private rooms, meals, and nursing services. It also helps pay for short-term skilled nursing facility (SNF) care and home health services when medically necessary and following a hospital stay. Hospice care is included for individuals with a terminal illness, offering palliative care, counseling, medical equipment, and short-term respite for caregivers. While Part A covers many essential services, it does not pay for long-term custodial care or extended nursing home stays. Those wanting coverage for future long-term care needs may consider private insurance options like long-term care insurance.
(Medical Insurance)
Medicare Part B covers a wide range of outpatient and preventive services, including doctor visits, lab work, outpatient care, and medically necessary home health services. It also includes durable medical equipment like wheelchairs and walkers. Preventive benefits—such as annual “Wellness” visits, vaccines, and screenings—help detect issues early. Part B covers certain hospital-related services like surgeries, chemotherapy, dialysis, and diagnostic imaging. It also pays for drugs administered in clinical settings, including infusions and insulin used with a pump. Overall, Part B is essential for managing ongoing health needs and promoting long-term wellness through early detection and regular care.
(Drug coverage):
Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. It’s available through standalone prescription drug plans or Medicare Advantage Plans that include drug coverage. These plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare and must follow its guidelines. Coverage varies by plan, including the list of covered drugs (formulary), costs, and pharmacy networks. Part D helps reduce out-of-pocket expenses for both generic and brand-name medications. To avoid a late enrollment penalty, it’s important to sign up when first eligible unless you have other credible drug coverage. Reviewing plans annually ensures your medications remain covered affordably.
Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called "Part C" or "MA Plans," are an “all in one” alternative to Original Medicare. These “bundled” plans include Part A (Hospital Insurance), Part B (Medical Insurance), and usually Part D (Medicare drug coverage). Medicare Advantage Plans are offered by private companies approved by Medicare, and if you join one, you still have Medicare.
Plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs than Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans must cover everything that Original Medicare does. Most plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover – like vision, dental, hearing, transportation, and more.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plan
(Part D).
These plans (sometimes called "PDPs") add drug coverage to Original Medicare, some Medicare Cost Plans, some Medicare Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA) Plans.
Each Medicare Prescription Drug Plan has its own list of covered drugs (called a formulary). Many Medicare drug plans place drugs into different "tiers" on their formularies. Drugs in each tier have a different cost.
A drug in a lower tier will generally cost you less than a drug in a higher tier. In some cases, if your drug is on a higher tier and your prescriber thinks you need that drug instead of a similar drug on a lower tier, you or your prescriber can ask your plan for an exception to get a lower copayment.
