Medicare Part B

Medicare Part B covers medically necessary services such as doctor and outpatient care. Part B also covers some preventive services, and some occupational and physical therapies. Unlike Part A, Medicare Part B coverage does require a monthly premium. While standard premium amounts do exist, Medicare Part B premiums can vary depending on the income of the beneficiary.



In addition to Medicare Part B, the market for private-sector Medicare-related coverage also includes:



Medicare Supplemental Plans

Sometimes called "Medigap" insurance, though some industry professionals don't like that term - which, to various degrees, cover the things traditional Medicare doesn't. They help pay for "gaps" in Original Medicare and include minimal standard coverages. They offer different enhanced coverages and are approved by each state they are offered.

Medicare Advantage Plans

An alternative to Original Medicare with any of several managed-care style plans like HMO and PPO plans with low or $0 additional premium. These types of plans can limit out-of-pocket expenses every year and may require you to stay in-network for services at reduced costs and sometimes include prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Info's Mission

Because of the significant amount of out-of-pocket payments that may be required by Original Medicare, a booming market of private-sector insurance products has grown up around the government programs. And they are the part of the market on which consumers may want to focus his or her attention. Medicare Info's mission is to help people understand these products and provide tools to assist in the decision making process.



Understanding the geographic service area

In order to qualify for most Medicare-related plans, you must meet the standard Medicare eligibility requirements and live in the "geographic service area."

Medicare-related plans are regulated by each state and approved for sale within geographic service areas. In most cases, these areas are organized on a county-by-county basis; in some large urban markets, they're organized on a city or even neighborhood basis.

If you move out of your geographic service area during a plan's coverage term, you will usually have a Special Election Period that allows you to enroll in another Medicare-related plan approved for sale in your new location or switch back to Original Medicare.



Avoid confusion, know your Medicare plan options
