Getting to know your Medicare
The first step toward making informed Medicare decisions is to understand that Medicare isn't just one insurance program. It's several programs — each with varying levels of coverage, and each providing a different component of medical and healthcare. Plus, there's now prescription drug coverage through the Medicare Part D plan. Deciding to enroll in Part D will depend greatly on the type of healthcare coverage you have now.
