Abstract

This guide discusses basic Medicare benefits on private health insurance, commonly called Medigap insurance, available to supplement Medicare.

Medicare

What are the two parts of Medicare?

Medicare Part A -- Hospital Benefits. This pays for your care while you are in the hospital, and for related health services after you leave the hospital, including necessary care in a Medicare approved nursing home.

Medicare Part B -- Medical Insurance. This helps pay doctor bills and hospital out-patient expenses.
