With all the different parts of Medicare, it can be confusing to differentiate the coverage offered by each plan.
At John Kyle Insurance, you will gain a better understanding of your Medicare needs after learning more about Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, Prescription Drug Coverage, and Medicare Supplements.
Medicare Advantage Plans, or Medicare Part C, can be used to substitute Medicare Part A and B, as well as offer prescription drug coverage.
Known as Medigap Plans, Medicare Supplement Plans fill in the “gaps” of medical costs that aren’t covered by Original Medicare, such as coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles.
The policyholder pays the insurance company a premium payment every month in return for a death benefit to be paid to the policyholder’s chosen beneficiaries in the event of their death.
Health insurance is essential to have through all walks of life. Whether it is an individual, family, or group plan, John Kyle will advise and guide you in the right direction to find the coverage you deserve.
Different types of supplemental insurance pay you a cash benefit while you’re sick or injured. Whether it’s disability or dental, explore your many options with John Kyle.
We have acquired an abundance of knowledge, and we’re eager to share this expertise with you in the form of articles and blog posts.

It is important for anyone who is currently thinking about enrolling in Medicare to understand all pieces of the plan before applying. Each section, or part, of the insurance, was put in place to either cover set costs that occur under a specific circumstance or provide alternative forms of healthcare coverage. As you will notice below, the different parts of Medicare come together to form the framework of a solid insurance plan.
The first section of Medicare is referred to as “Original Medicare,” and is made up of Part A and Part B. Medicare Part A is the section of the policy that is associated with hospital insurance and some of the costs that are occurred during treatment. In most cases, Part A will shoulder a portion of the costs accompanying the use of hospice care, home health care service, inpatient hospital care, and up to a limited number of days in a skilled nursing facility. When calculating the portion of the costs you owe, it is important to note that Medicare benefits will be taken out of the bill first, and the remainder will be passed down to the beneficiary to be paid.
For most people in the United States, there is no requirement to pay a monthly premium for Part A coverage if the minimum of 10 years of work history has been met.

The second half of Original Medicare is comprised of Medicare Part B. Acting in unison with Part A, Part B covers medical insurance for policyholders that relate to non-hospital expenses. For example, the costs associated with outpatient hospital care, X-rays, blood tests, doctors’ office visits, and screenings for things such as diabetes are listed under Medicare Part B. One of the differences when compared with the first section of Medicare is that beneficiaries will be required to pay a monthly premium, while the benefits pay the cost of most services.
With the help of Medicare Part C, or Medicare Advantage, those insured under Medicare can go through a private insurance company to select a plan. By going this route, there are more options and different coverages that can be added, such as dental, vision, and hearing care services. For those considering exploring this option, it is important to keep in mind you still must have Original Medicare before you can qualify for Part C.
Medicare Part D makes up the remaining section of the Medicare plan and provides coverage for some prescription drugs. Unlike the other parts of the framework, you do not need to have any other parts of Medicare to get drug coverage under Part D. However, you can receive prescription drug coverage as an added benefit with Medicare Advantage.
As a stand-alone prescription drug plan, policyholders will still need to pay copayments, deductibles, or a percentage of drug costs depending on how the plan is set up.
With yearly benefit changes, options for private plans, and enrollment criteria, deciding whether or not Medicare is right for you can be challenging.
