Medicare is a federal health insurance program for individuals aged 65 and older, and certain younger individuals with disabilities. It has different parts: Part A covers hospital insurance, Part B covers medical insurance, Part C (Medicare Advantage) offers benefits through private plans, and Part D provides prescription drug coverage.
To qualify, individuals must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and meet age or disability criteria. Enrollment starts three months before turning 65 and lasts for seven months. Understanding enrollment periods is crucial to avoid penalties.
