Medicare Chronic and Long-Term Care Conditions Coverage

Most U.S. adults live with at least one chronic illness — defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a disease lasting a year or more that affects your daily life or demands ongoing care. Getting that care can be especially important since chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are among the nation’s top causes of death.

Managing one or more chronic diseases is often stressful, challenging, and expensive. By planning for your long-term healthcare needs and choosing health insurance that helps with the costs, you can have a fuller, happier life.

Read our articles about chronic and long-term care for a deeper look into how your coverage through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan can help.
