Medicare
Medicare is health insurance for people 65 or older. You may be eligible to get Medicare earlier if you have a disability, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or ALS (also called Lou Gehrig’s disease).
​
Some people get Medicare automatically, others have to actively sign up -- it depends if you start getting retirement or disability benefits from Social Security before you turn 65.
The different parts of Medicare help cover specific services:
-
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance)
-
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)
-
Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage)
Medicare.gov is the official website managed by the federal government. Among the useful resources you will find there is Medicare's Costs at a Glance.
Use this information to help you compare your coverage options and decide what coverage is right for you.
