Medicare is a government-run health insurance initiative which covers individuals over the age of 65, people under 65 who are disabled, and all individuals who have been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease. Medicare has four sections (Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D) which cover an array of different medical expenses based on your needs. Below is a breakdown of what each Part includes:

Medicare Part A covers hospital insurance and helps pay for care in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities.

Medicare Part B covers medical insurance, which helps pay for doctors, outpatient hospital care and other medical services which Part A does not cover.

Part C involves Medicare Advantage plans.

 

Part D pertains to prescription drug coverage.

 

Washington D.C. offers a multitude of plans which range in cost and coverage.

Washington D.C. also offers Part D plans which include a monthly premium that ranges between $18 to $115 per month.
