Medicare: The Basics
What is Medicare?
Medicare is a health insurance program regulated by the United States federal government. It is designed to assist people who are retired or cannot work by providing affordable access to certain medical needs, treatments, and services.
What is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage, also known as Part C, can offer extended coverage for care beyond what Original Medicare (the collective name for Medicare Parts A and B) provides. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance carriers but are still regulated by the U.S. federal government.
