Medicare is the federal health insurance program for 65 or older people or those under 65 who may qualify for a disability or another unique situation. Medicare helps millions of American seniors and disabled individuals cover some of their health care costs.

Medicare also offers essential choices in how you receive benefits – whether through Original Medicare or through a Medicare-approved private insurer that offers prescription drug coverage and additional services like vision, hearing, dental, etc.

The different parts of Medicare help cover the costs of specific services.
