What is Medicare?
Medicare is the federal health insurance program for:

Certain young people with disabilities
People with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant, sometimes called ESRD).
There are four critical pieces pf Medicare Plans:
Enrollment Periods
Supplemental Plans
Advantage Plans
Prescription Drug Plans

It is very important to have a clear understanding of the terms Medicare A and B. Also known as Medicare Part A and Part B. Part A and B work together to make up Original Medicare. Part A is at no cost to the recipient and covers the cost of inpatient hospital-related services, such as hospice or home healthcare. Medicare Part B has a monthly premium and covers outpatient services, such as doctor visits, lab tests, and routine preventative care.
