There are two main types of plans that used to replace or supplement Original Medicare, it covers the cost of Medicare doesn’t and can provide more flexibility and alternative healthcare needs. Let’s review these two plans:
Medicare Supplement:
Supplement plans work with Original Medicare and may help pay the things that would normally cover. Some plans also cover deductibles and copayments. You can also select your physicians or healthcare provider as long as they participate in Medicare.
Medicare Advantage:
Medicare Advantage Plan or Part C, it is a plan that covers Original Medicare covers. They usually include a Part D coverage. It also has additional coverage more than the original plan like; dental, vision, or hearing services, fitness, and club membership. Advantage plans are offered through private insurance companies with their own local network or providers.
We know that Medicare can be complex. If you choose the wrong plans, supplemental insurance, or prescription coverages, then your budget or lifestyle will be affected.
If you don’t enroll at the appropriate times and in the appropriate plans, your coverage may not even exist at the right time when you need it.

This is how Medicare becomes confusing for many, because of a lot of terms, coverages, premiums, policies, and plans. When we say Medicare it is an insurance program that cuts into three parts, Medicare Part A which covers the hospital insurance. Medicare Part B is for medical insurance like medical supplies, outpatient care, and doctors’ services. And Medicare Part D for prescription drug coverage.
While Medicaid is an assistance program, especially designed for low-income people of every age. The federal and state joined together to provide health care coverage for people with limited income resources. They help citizens by providing health insurance at lower costs.
These two, Medicare and Medicaid are health insurance programs run by the government to help U.S. citizens in providing their health coverage and insurance program. As they differ in covered services and cost-sharing.
If you want to see if you are eligible for the state’s Medicaid, ask our agent by contacting our Medicare phone number 208-409-3382. Or call the department of health and welfare.
