MEDICARE OVERVIEW
What is Medicare and Who Qualifies?
It can be confusing to try to understand exactly what Medicare is, who it benefits, and what the coverage includes. We’re here to help break it all down. Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about Medicare.
What is Medicare?
Medicare is a health insurance program run by the federal government. It is funded partly by Social Security and Medicare taxes that everyone pays with their income taxes. People who receive Medicare also pay premiums that support the program, and the rest is funded by the federal government budget.
Who Qualifies for Medicare?
Medicare availability extends to individuals who are 65 years old or older. It also covers individuals of any age who suffer from End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), which is kidney failure that requires specific care, including dialysis or a kidney transplant. Medicare also serves as limited-term coverage for people on Social Security Disability Insurance.
What Does Medicare Cover?
Like most insurance programs, there are different Medicare plans and different items covered with Medicare. Some of your coverage will depend on where you live and some on the type of Medicare plan you sign up for or qualify for. There are five different Medicare plans available, depending on your needs and qualifications.
A very good friend recommended Chad to me because of the good service he provided. My needs were, quite honestly, very challenging and w/ little difficulty, Chad got me up and running in-a-flash. The experience was so positive that I even recommended my wife to him.
