Medicare 101

Medicare has four different parts, otherwise known as the ABCD’s of Medicare.
Kaiser Permanente offers Part C, Medicare Advantage Plans in Georgia.

The 4 parts of Medicare
With Medicare, it’s important to understand Parts A, B, C, and D — each part covers specific services, from medical care to prescription drugs.

A
&
B

Together, Part A and Part B are called Original Medicare and are provided by the federal government. Original Medicare covers only about 80% of hospital and medical expenses and doesn’t include prescription drug coverage. You need to have Part A, Part B, or both before you can get Part C.

C

Part C — known as Medicare Advantage — is another way to get Part A and Part B coverage. You can get Medicare Advantage plans from private health care providers like Kaiser Permanente.

D

Part D is prescription drug coverage that can be added to Original Medicare and is available from private health care providers like Kaiser Permanente.
