What Does Medicare Cover? (Your Complete Guide)

The Transition to Medicare Podcast

Navigating Medicare can sometimes feel like a maze, and that's exactly what we're unpacking in our latest podcast episode about the ins and outs of Medicare coverage.
In this comprehensive episode, we explore:
- Medicare Part A: What does it mean by "room and board" in a hospital?
- Medicare Part B: From doctors to preventive services, we discuss the medical insurance part of Medicare.
- Medicare Advantage: A bundled alternative to Original Medicare—what does it really offer?
- Medicare Part D: Navigating the labyrinth of prescription drug coverage.
- Medigap Coverage: How to fill the gaps left by Original Medicare.
- What Medicare Doesn’t Cover: Knowing the limits can save you from unexpected costs.
IMPORTANT: Be aware that coverage does not mean zero cost to you. Coinsurance or out-of-pocket costs often apply. Also, you must use Medicare-approved providers for coverage.
