Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people 65 or older, and certain younger people with disabilities.

4 parts of Medicare.

💡 Part A (Hospital Insurance): Covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care.

💡 Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.

💡 Part C (Medicare Advantage): An all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare, offered by private companies approved by Medicare. These "bundled" plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D.

💡 Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage): Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs (including many recommended shots or vaccines).
