There are 2 main ways to get your Medicare coverage:
There are 2 main ways to get your Medicare coverage:
1. Original Medicare (Part A and Part B)
You have your choice of doctors, hospitals, and other providers that accept Medicare and an optional Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) Plan sold by private companies, that can help pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Some Medigap policies also offer coverage for services that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like medical care when you travel outside the U.S. If you have Original Medicare and you buy a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health care costs. Then your Medigap policy pays its share.
2. Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C)
In most MA plans, you need to use plan doctors, hospitals, and other providers or you pay more or all of the costs. If you're in a Medicare plan, review the "Evidence of Coverage" (EOC) and "Annual Notice of Change" (ANOC) your plan sends you each fall. The EOC gives you details about what the plan covers, how much you pay, and more. The ANOC includes any changes in coverage, costs, or service area that will be effective in January.
Some people get additional coverage, like Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D).
