We like to provide education to all citizens of Polk co. and surrounding counties. Here is a little education for anyone to read.
What is part A?
Answer : Medicare Part A helps pay for bills related to inpatient hospital stays and procedures; inpatient care in a skilled nursing facility; hospice care; and home health care.
What is part B?
Part B (Medical Insurance): Helps cover:
Services from doctors and other health care providers
Outpatient care
Home health care
Durable medical equipment (like wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, and other equipment)
Many preventive services (like screenings, shots or vaccines, and yearly “Wellness” visits)
What is Part C?
Medicare Part C plans, Also known as Medicare Advantage plans are comprehensive plans that include the same benefits of Medicare Parts A and B plus additional coverage. That's important if you need more than what Original Medicare provides.
What is part D?
Part D (Drug coverage): Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs (including many recommended shots or vaccines). You join a Medicare drug plan in addition to Original Medicare, or you get it by joining a Medicare Advantage Plan with drug coverage. Plans that offer Medicare drug coverage are run by private insurance companies that follow rules set by Medicare.
What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
Medicare is federal health insurance for anyone age 65 and older, and some people under 65 with certain disabilities or conditions. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid offers benefits, like nursing home care, personal care services, and assistance paying for Medicare premiums and other costs.
