Since Medicare was signed into law in 1965, there have been numerous changes to the plan. Medicare now has four different parts titled Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. To many seniors and their families this may sound like a big bowl of alphabet soup, but we can help.
Part A covers the details of expenses associated with hospitalization and its costs are paid by taxes collected throughout the working career. Part B deals with services provided at outpatient clinics and physician’s offices. Seniors must first enroll in Part B to take advantage of the program, and there is a monthly fee for the benefits. Part C is the Medicare Advantage plan that seniors can enroll in for more comprehensive medical coverage. Part D is the newest letter to the Medicare law and it deals primarily with providing prescription coverage for seniors.
Most seniors who are enrolled in Medicare will want to also purchase a Medicare Supplemental plan. Insurance companies add to the Medicare alphabet soup by labeling the supplemental plans A through J. Each supplemental plan comes with different levels of benefits and different premiums. At Texas Healthcare Specialists, we want to make sure that our Texas seniors get the Medicare coverage they need at the price they can afford. Our agents will help explain what your potential out-of- pocket expenses will be with each plan. We offer products from the top-rated insurance companies in Texas, so we are able to find the quality plan that will work for your health and your pocketbook.
