Medicare Coverage of Miscellaneous Items

Original Medicare (also called Medicare Parts A and B), which is administered by the federal government, can make a wide range of medical services and equipment more affordable for people who are over 65 or living with certain disabilities.

After enrolling in Medicare Parts A and B, you have the option to switch to a Medicare Advantage plan (also called Medicare Part C) from a private insurer. These plans substitute for your Original Medicare coverage and may offer additional benefits like gym memberships or transportation to doctor’s appointments.
