Medicare can be complex
Learn about Medicare, the parts of Medicare, and how Medicare applies to you.
Understanding Medicare is just the beginning
Medicare Basics
While Medicare covers most healthcare expenses, it doesn’t cover everything. Medicare beneficiaries are responsible for a number of co-payments and deductibles, which can easily add up to thousands of dollars. If all you have is Original Medicare, you’ll need to pay these costs out-of-pocket.
As a result, many Americans buy additional private insurance to cover these gaps in coverage. There are two main categories of private insurance on the market: Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans. While these programs offer similar health benefits, they also have some significant differences that you need to consider.
