Your Medicare Options
When you first enroll in Medicare and during certain times of the year, you can choose how you get your Medicare coverage. There are 2 main ways to get Medicare:
Original Medicare
-
Original Medicare includes Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance).
-
If you want drug coverage, you can join a separate Part D plan.
To help pay your out-of-pocket costs in Original Medicare (like your deductible and 20% coinsurance), you can also shop for and buy supplemental coverage.

Medicare Advantage is an
"all in one" alternative to Original Medicare. These "bundled" plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D.
-
Some plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs than Original Medicare.

Some plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn't cover- like vision, hearing, or dental.
