The Medicare ABCs and Ds

  • Part B of Medicare provides coverage for doctor’s visits, lab testing, preventative treatments, outpatient care, and medical supplies. Part B is optional coverage with a monthly premium and an annual deductible for most people.
  • Part C of Medicare is a private insurance plan that contracts with Medicare to offer Part A and Part B services to beneficiaries.
  • Medicare Part D provides coverage for prescription drugs for those on Medicare. PDPs, or Medicare Prescription Prescription Programs, supplement. Original Medicare by providing drug coverage. Part D coverage is also available through a Medicare Advantage plan.
