What Is Original Medicare?

Also called Parts A and B, Original Medicare includes a defined set of benefits and services. Part A covers inpatient care, such as hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, or hospice care, while Part B covers outpatient care, such as doctors services, medical supplies, and preventive services.

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage plans, also called Part C, are designed to provide an alternative to Original Medicare. Often offering services found in Parts A and B, clients can enjoy additional benefits, such as hearing aids, eye exams, wellness programs, and more. Enrollment in Medicare Parts A and B is required to qualify for Medicare Advantage.

Prescription Drug Coverage

Also referred to as Medicare Part D, this plan can help to cover the cost of prescriptions drugs for covered medications. Part D coverage is available for recipients of either Original Medicare (Parts A and B), or those that are enrolled in Original Medicare, plus a Medigap/Medicare Supplement Plan.

Medicare Supplement

Medicare Supplement, also referred to as Medigap, are state-regulated policies for individuals receiving benefits from Original Medicare. Coverages can vary, but these plans are designed to fill the "gaps" in coverage for Medicare Part A and Part B plans. Benefits can include assistance with co-pays, deductibles, and more.
