what are all the parts of medicare?

· Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance)​ Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care.​

· Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance)​ Part B covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.​

· Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage)​ Medicare Advantage is a Medicare-approved plan from a private company that offers an alternative to Original Medicare for your health and drug coverage. These “bundled” plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D.​

· Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage)​ Helps cover the cost of prescription drugs (including many recommended shots or vaccines).​ You join a Medicare drug plan in addition to Original Medicare, or you get it by joining a Medicare Advantage Plan with drug coverage. Plans that offer Medicare drug coverage are run by private insurance companies that follow rules set by Medicare.

· Medicare Part E (Medicare Supplemental Insurance/Medigap)​ Extra insurance you can buy from a private company that helps pay your share of costs in Original Medicare. Policies are standardized, and in most states named by letters, like Plan G or Plan K. The benefits in each lettered plan are the same, no matter which insurance company sells it.
