Turning 65 is a significant milestone in your life, bringing not just the joy of aging but also the opportunity to enroll in Medicare for the first time. For many, this new chapter can feel overwhelming, but understanding the basics of Traditional Medicare—Parts A and B—can empower you to make informed decisions about your healthcare coverage.

What is Traditional Medicare? Traditional Medicare, also known as Original Medicare, is a federal health insurance program designed primarily for individuals aged 65 and older. It comprises two main parts: Part A and Part B, each serving distinct purposes to help manage your healthcare needs.

Deep Dive into Medicare Part A: Medicare Part A is essentially your hospital insurance. Here’s what you need to know about its coverage:

Costs Associated with Part A: Most people do not pay a monthly premium for Part A if they or their spouse paid Medicare taxes while working. However, it’s essential to understand the deductibles and coinsurance associated with this coverage. You will incur a deductible for each benefit period, and coinsurance may apply after a certain number of days in the hospital or skilled nursing facility.

Exploring Medicare Part B: Medicare Part B covers your medical insurance, which is crucial for outpatient care. Here’s a closer look:

Costs Associated with Part B: Most individuals pay a standard monthly premium for Part B, which can vary based on income. After meeting the annual deductible, you will typically pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for most doctor services, outpatient therapy, and durable medical equipment.

As you approach 65, taking the time to understand your options with Medicare is crucial. Assess your healthcare needs and consider how Parts A and B fit into your overall healthcare strategy.
