Breaking Down the Parts of Medicare
Submitted by JMB Financial Managers on November 14th, 2023Medicare is the federal health insurance program for everyone age 65 and older in the United States. Generally, the different parts of Medicare exist to cover specific healthcare services. Most beneficiaries choose to receive their Parts A and B benefits through Original Medicare, the traditional fee-for-service program offered directly through the federal government. It is sometimes called Traditional Medicare or Fee-for-Service (FFS) Medicare. Under Original Medicare, the government pays directly for the health care services you receive. You can see any doctor and hospital that takes Medicare anywhere in the country.
