Medicare
Medicare is the health insurance program sponsored by the federal government.
Most people over age 65
Some disabled people under age 65
People with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
Medicare Part A provides coverage for hospital inpatient care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care and some home health care. Most people do not have to apply for Part A, since enrollment is automatic at age 65.
Medicare Part B provides coverage for medical expenses, including physician services; some other medical services that Part A does not cover, such as physical and occupational therapy; and some home health care. Most people pay monthly for Part B through a deduction from their Social Security payments.
