"Medicare is split into two different kinds of insurance. Original Medicare consists of Parts A and B and is taken by most people who turn 65. Part A pays for approximately 80 percent of hospital costs and deductibles apply, so if an extended hospital stay is required the costs still could add up."
"Part B is medical insurance and pays for about 80 percent of medically necessary services from doctors and some other health care providers. There is a monthly premium that is means tested based on the person’s income for the prior two years. The premium this year ranges from $104.90 to $335.70, depending on an individual’s income."
Part D "helps cover the cost of prescription drugs, but there are co-payments and co-insurance and there is a coverage gap once the recipient reaches a certain level of expenses where he has to pay the cost of drugs until coverage kicks in again."
"Part C of Medicare insurance is a Medicare Advantage plan that combines Parts A, B and sometimes D under one policy." Read the full article for more details:
