How Medicare Works
Medicare is a federal health insurance program divided into parts, each covering a different category of care. Many people receive Part A at no premium cost if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years, while Part B requires a monthly premium. Parts C and D can also offer additional coverage options for those with additional insurance needs.
What Medicare Covers
Medicare’s coverage depends on which parts and plans you carry. Typical coverage may include:
- Part A—Inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care and hospice services
- Part B—Doctor visits, outpatient services and preventive care
- Part C—Bundled private plans, also known as Medicare Advantage, that can include Parts A, B and D
- Part D—Prescription drugs
Coverage details vary by plan, so reviewing your specific policy is essential before assuming a service is included.
Who Is Eligible?
Most people qualify for Medicare at age 65. Younger individuals may also qualify if they have received Social Security disability benefits for 24 months, have been diagnosed with ALS or have end-stage renal disease. The knowledgeable and experienced team at 314 Insurance Advisors can help if you have questions about eligibility.
When Can I Enroll?
Your initial enrollment period begins three months before your 65th birthday month and ends three months after it, giving you a seven-month window to enroll. Missing this window without qualifying for a special enrollment period can result in late enrollment penalties. During each year following, you can make changes to your coverage during your applicable annual enrollment period.
