Individuals eligible for Medicare may have access to different types of Medicare coverage, including Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), Medicare Advantage (Part C), Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D), and Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap). Each type of coverage is subject to its own eligibility requirements, costs, and program rules established under federal law.
Coverage availability, provider networks, premiums, deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and prescription drug formularies may vary depending on the type of coverage selected and the geographic area in which an individual resides. Information regarding Medicare Star Ratings is published annually by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for applicable Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans.
