Medicare Basic Information

Medicare is health insurance offered by the federal government to people who are 65 or older and meet the eligibility requirements.  Some people younger than 65 who have disabilities, permanent kidney failure or Lou Gehrig’s disease can also qualify.  People of any age with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) also qualify.

Medicare helps pay for healthcare, but does not cover all medical expenses.  The United States Medicare System is managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

There are a few different routes you can take once eligible for Medicare. Once you get your Medicare parts A & B; you can choose to get a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C), get a Medicare Supplement plan and Part D to supplement your original Medicare.
