Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people 65 and older, covering hospital stays, doctor visits, and prescription drugs through various parts (A, B, D) and plans. It offers options like Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage, with supplemental insurance to fill coverage gaps, tailored to individual needs.
Medicare Part C plans combine Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) with additional benefits like Part D prescription drug coverage, vision, hearing, and/or dental care. They may also include wellness programs, fitness center memberships, and health coaching.
