By John Barnes


Catering for medical expenses with your own salary can be hectic especially when the bills are high. Enrolling to a medical plan such as Medicare Part A B C D can help take off the load of hospital bills. These plans can cater for a range of services from hospital health care to prescription drugs. All you need to do is select one that is fit for you and your family considering your medical conditions.

Having checked whether you are eligible for these services, you can get deeper information about them and see which fits you. Choosing part A also known as Original Medicare will help you to cater for home health care, inpatient stay and hospital care as well as skilled nursing care. You may likely not have to pay a premium for it but an annual deductible before any hospitalization cost are covered as it is run by the federal government.

Part B which is also known as Original Medical care offers coverage for doctor and clinical lab services, home health care, outpatient and preventive care. It is optional and pays for a portion of these services. It differs from part A whereby it has a monthly premium, a standard rate that is deductible that has to be reached first before it starts paying for the services.

Part C is an option that is usually offered by private institutions approved by Medicare to cater for health services. For you to get this option, you should have first enrolled with plan A B then go ahead to look for an insurance company that is approved to clear medical bills. Although this cover is said to be expensive, it has an advantage over the rest as it can offer what A B cannot.

The Prescription Drug Plan commonly known as part D is more of a standalone plan but is combined with the rest to offer wholesome payment of services. It caters for cost of prescription drugs and is offered by private insurance companies this means that there is a premium monthly charge plus deductibles when you sign in. However, it has one disadvantage whereby there is a precise a limit to its coverage such that when the payment exceeds it, you will have to cater for your own medicine.

As you go selecting a medical cover, you should consider that not all doctors will accept this form of payment. There are a number of specialists who work with payment in cash only for various reasons. Therefore, consider the doctor that you frequently see, check whether if he or she accepts this kind of payment services before you pick a plan.

It is important to select a coverage that will cater for your medical bills wholesomely and also select it from institutions that are approved by Medical care especially if you go for part C. This is because in original Medicare, you are eligible to visit almost all doctors while the Medicare Advantage Plan may have a restriction on which doctor or hospital you can go to.

Do consider your health care resources especially if you are not sure whether you will get a retirement benefit or not. This guides you to picking a choice that suits your situation. Also consider that the covers are only viable within the boundaries of the state and not elsewhere.
