Medicare FAQ
Learn about Medicare eligibility and coverage.
Medicare is a federal government program that helps older folks and some disabled people pay their medical bills and prescription drug costs. The program is divided into three parts: Part A, Part B, and Part D. Part A is called hospital insurance and covers most hospital stay costs, as well as some follow-up costs. Part B, medical insurance, pays some doctor and outpatient medical care costs. Part D covers some prescription drug costs.
