Confused About Medicare? Here Are the Basics - Pampa News
If you’ve ever waded into the world of Medicare, you have undoubtedly found that it can be exceeding complicated and highly confusing. The various “Parts” of Medicare each have a different purpose providing different levels of healthcare coverage, using terms such as “in-patient,” “out-patient,” “co-payments,” “deductibles,” and so on. There’s “Part A” and “Part B” (which comprise “original Medicare”) and “Part C” which replaces Parts A and B. And there’s also “Part D” which is stand-alone private coverage for prescription drugs, which is sometimes not needed because it’s often included in “Part C.” So what’s the uninformed person to do when the one thing they do know about Medicare (enroll at 65) is on the horizon? The obvious answer is to find a layman’s description of how Medicare works, which is exactly what is provided in this article by Toni King appearing in The Pampa (TX) News. Click here to read more.
