Learning about Medicare can feel like looking into a bowl of alphabet soup. But to get the coverage that’s best for you, it’s important to know your choices. And that starts with understanding Medicare’s four basic parts.

Medicare Part A: Hospital Coverage

Part A covers care you receive while you are an inpatient in a hospital or a skilled nursing facility.

Part B: Medical Coverage

Part B covers doctor visits, clinic services, and care you receive as an outpatient.

Part C: Medicare Advantage

Part C (Medicare Advantage) combines Parts A and B into one plan. Most plans include prescription drug coverage as well. Eye care, dental care, and hearing aids may also be included. Brown & Toland Physicians works with several Medicare Advantage plans in the Bay Area.

Medicare Part D: Prescription Drug Coverage

Part D covers many generic and brand-name prescription medications.

You may also choose to enroll in a Medigap policy (supplemental insurance) for an additional cost.
