Understanding Medicare

Four parts.
One clear picture.

Medicare is federal health insurance for people 65 and older, and some younger people with disabilities. It has different parts that cover different types of healthcare services — here's the map.

Part A

Hospital

Covers hospital stays, skilled nursing, and hospice care.

Part B

Medical

Covers doctor visits, outpatient care, and medical equipment.

Part C

Medicare Advantage

The all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare.

Part D

Prescription

Prescription drug coverage for the medications you take.

The big decision

Medicare Advantage vs.
Medicare Supplement

Both paths can work beautifully — for the right person. The difference comes down to networks, premiums, and how you like to use your coverage.

Part C

Medicare Advantage

  • Replaces Original Medicare (Parts A & B)
  • Often includes prescription drug coverage
  • May include dental, vision & hearing aids
  • Typically lower monthly premiums
  • Provider networks and prior authorizations
Medigap

Medicare Supplement

  • Works alongside Original Medicare
  • Helps pay Medicare deductibles & coinsurance
  • No provider networks — see any Medicare doctor
  • Guaranteed renewable
  • Separate Part D needed for prescriptions

Not sure which path fits your doctors, medications, and budget? That's exactly what a free Medicare review is for — we compare all available plans, side by side, with no obligation to purchase. Want the fundamentals first? Start with our Medicare education guide.

Medicare, answered

Common Medicare questions

Quick, plain-English answers — and when you want the deep dive, our Medicare education center is free.

What are the parts of Medicare?
Medicare is federal health insurance for people 65 and older, and some younger people with disabilities. Part A (Hospital) covers hospital stays, skilled nursing, and hospice care. Part B (Medical) covers doctor visits, outpatient care, and medical equipment. Part C (Medicare Advantage) is an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. Part D covers prescription drugs.
What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and a Medicare Supplement (Medigap)?
Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare, often includes prescription drug coverage and extras like dental, vision, and hearing aids, and typically has lower monthly premiums — but uses provider networks and prior authorizations. A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) works alongside Original Medicare, helps pay deductibles and coinsurance, lets you see any doctor who accepts Medicare with no networks, and is guaranteed renewable — but you'll need a separate Part D plan for prescriptions.
When can I enroll in Medicare?
Your Initial Enrollment Period runs from 3 months before to 3 months after your 65th birthday. Annual Open Enrollment is October 15 through December 7 each year. And if you're already in a Medicare Advantage plan, the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period runs January 1 through March 31.
