People With Medicare

Types of Coverage

You can get your health care coverage from Medicare in one of two ways:

  • Through Original Medicare, Parts A and B, OR
  • Through a Medicare Advantage plan, called Part C. You must have Parts A and B to enroll in Part C. A private company will sponsor this plan.

We will explain the differences, to help you choose.
