Medicare Basics
- 1. Medicare is health insurance for people age 65 or older, those younger than 65 with certain disabilities, and people of any age with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
- There are four parts:
- Part A (hospital coverage)
- Part B (medical coverage)
- Part C (Medicare Advantage plans)
- Part D (prescription drug coverage)
- You can choose between original Medicare (Parts A and B) or a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C), then if you will want/need prescription drug coverage (Part D).
- If you choose original Medicare, you then choose if you want/need a Medicare Supplement plan to help cover the “gaps” that Parts A and B don’t cover.
MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT
What is a Medicare Supplement? Private health insurance designed to supplement original Medicare (Parts A and B) by filling “gaps” in original Medicare coverage.
- Higher monthly premiums
- Helps cover remaining cost that original Medicare doesn’t (out-of-pocket costs are typically less)
- Rates may vary based on age/sex
- Underwritten (with a few exceptions)
- Standardized benefit plans (only rates vary)
- Guaranteed renewable plans
- Sales can be made throughout the year
- Typically can go to any doctor or hospital
MEDICARE ADVANTAGE
What is Medicare Advantage? Private health insurance that provides Part A and B coverage and other extras, potentially including dental, vision and hearing coverage; wellness programs; etc. Most include Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D).
- Lower monthly premiums
- Co-pays and out-of-pocket expense usually higher
- Same rates regardless of age/sex
- Guaranteed issue (except for ESRD)
- Benefits vary by plan
- Annual plan approved by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Medicare Advantage Plans are insured or covered by a Medicare Advantage organization with a Medicare contract and/or a Medicare approved Part D sponsor.

Do You Need MORE Than Medicare?
While Medicare can cover a lot of health care costs, it doesn’t cover all of them. Medicare supplement plans can offer a wide range of additional coverage to help handle other costs for care in retirement.
To help you navigate the process, we’ve created a guide, “5 Simple Steps to Choosing the Medicare Supplement Plan for You.” This guide will help you better understand supplement plans as you compare your cost and benefit options going forward.
