Medicare Regulations

Medicare regulations are rules that govern how the government’s health insurance program for people age 65 and older, as well as some younger individuals with disabilities, operates. They set standards for coverage, billing, provider participation, and quality of care to ensure consistent, fair access and reliable services. These regulations help prevent fraud, protect beneficiaries’ rights, and maintain the program’s financial sustainability. Providers must follow these rules to be eligible for Medicare reimbursement, and beneficiaries should be aware of their coverage options and rights under the law.
