If You Decide to Stay with Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) and do nothing else, Here are A few things to be aware of:
You get Medicare Part A premium-free if you've worked at least 10 years, or 40 quarters, while paying Medicare taxes.
Most people pay a monthly premium for Medicare Part B. You can decide not to enroll in this part of Original Medicare. Some people "opt out" of Part B coverage if they have group health coverage through an employer, for example. You can sign up for Part B later when you stop working or your group coverage ends. But you must be enrolled in Part B if you want to sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan or a Medicare Supplement plan. If you delay enrollment in Part B, you might face a late-enrollment penalty for as long as you have the coverage, unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
Outside of certain specific situations, Original Medicare doesn't cover prescription drugs. Medicare plan options to cover prescription drugs are discussed below.
Original Medicare does come with certain out-of-pocket costs. Medicare Part A and Part B have deductibles and sometimes coinsurance, copayments, and certain coverage limits.
Stay with Original Medicare and add a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan to help pay for Original Medicare's out-of-pocket costs.
Stay with Original Medicare and sign up for a stand-alone Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, available from private, Medicare-approved insurance companies.
Get your Medicare Part A and Part B benefits through a Medicare Advantage plan instead of directly from the government. Many Medicare Advantage plans also cover routine vision or dental care or other benefits. Hospice care is covered directly by Medicare Part A when you have a Medicare Advantage plan.
The types of Medicare Advantage plans available in your area may include Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans, Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans, and others.
Most Medicare Advantage plans include prescription drug coverage; these are called Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans. If you enroll in this type of plan, you can get all your Medicare benefits through a single plan. You still need to keep paying your monthly Medicare Part B premium, besides any premium the Medicare Advantage plan may charge.
