Medicare Program

Medicare is a government health insurance program primarily for people aged 65 and older, though it also covers some younger individuals with disabilities. It helps pay for hospital stays, doctor visits, and other medical services, reducing out-of-pocket costs. Medicare has different parts: Part A covers hospital care; Part B covers outpatient services; Part C (Medicare Advantage) offers optional plans through private insurers; and Part D provides prescription drug coverage. It aims to improve access to healthcare for seniors and certain disabled individuals, ensuring essential medical services are more affordable and accessible.
