Medicare helps cover many health services, but it doesn’t pay for everything. Some people have job-based or retiree insurance that works with Medicare to lower their costs. Others may use VA benefits or buy a Medigap policy, which helps pay deductibles, copays, and coinsurance for Original Medicare.
If you want drug coverage with Original Medicare, you can join a Part D plan. If you choose a Medicare Advantage Plan instead, that plan may include drug coverage and extra benefits like dental or vision. Each plan is different, so it’s important to look carefully at what is covered and what you’ll pay.
