If you are like most persons covered by Medicare, there are aspects of the federal health insurance program that you find complex and confusing. You may be uncertain about what Medicare covers and doesn't cover and how much it pays toward your medical expenses. And, like many other beneficiaries, you want to know what, if any, additional health insurance you should buy.
This booklet will provide you with information that will help you make the health insurance choices that are right for you. While it does not recommend any particular insurer or policy, it does:
- explain your medicare benefits
- identify the gaps in your medicare coverage
- describe the various types of insurance available to supplement your Medicare coverage
- provide tips on shopping for private health insurance, and
- list the names and telephone numbers of state agencies available to answer your questions about health insurance
