Independent Agent & Medicare Supplement Specialist, reMEDIGAP, USA
According to Social Security, you are automatically enrolled in Medicare after receiving disability benefits for two years.
The two parts of Medicare coverage you are enrolled in are the hospital insurance and medical insurance.
Hospital insurance (Part A) is established to help pay for your inpatient hospital bills and some of your follow-up care. The taxes you paid while working helped pay for Part A coverage, so it's no cost to you.
Medical insurance (Part B) is provided to help pay your doctors' bills, outpatient hospital care, and some other medical services. If you choose to enroll in Part B, this coverage comes with a monthly premium.
Some other parts of Medicare include:
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D)
Part C plans are made available in many areas across the country. Part C allows you to receive all of your health care services through medical plans offered by Medicare approved private companies.
Once you are on Medicare, you also have access to Part D or Prescription Drug Coverage. This type of coverage helps pay for your doctor prescribed medication.
If you are a Medicare Beneficiary with low-income, you may be able to get assistance through your state for the payment of your Medicare premiums. To see if you qualify for assistance, it is best to contact your state or local Medicaid agency or welfare office.
