What types of charges does medicare supplemental insurance cover?
Medicare supplemental insurance, also known as Medigap, helps cover some of the out-of-pocket expenses that Medicare does not cover. This can include things like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. However, Medigap plans do not cover services that are not covered by Medicare, such as dental, vision, or hearing care.
Does a person on medicare have to pay a copay in order to go to phyical theraphy?
Yes, most people on Medicare will need to pay a copay in order to go to physical therapy appointments. This is considered to be a specialist. If you have other health insurance outside of Medicare, this may cover the copay amount.
What are the qualifications for Medicare?
Medicare is health insurance for persons over age 65, persons undergoing kidney dialysis and certain persons who receive Social Security disability payments. The individual must have 40 credits of "covered employment" (i.e., calendar quarters during which they paid into Medicare), or be the spouse or dependent of such individual. Medicare is funded by payroll taxes and administered by the Federal government.
When you are 65 and get on Medicare can your wife also be on Medicare even if she is not 65?
One thing to remember about Medicare is that it is an individual plan. If you are on Medicare due to disability, that is your Medicare plan alone and your spouse would need to qualify on her own. Unless she has certain disabilities, your spouse would need to be turning 65 to qualify for Medicare.

Which is better medicare advantage or medicare supplement?
The answer is really based on an individuals personal circumstances. Each type of coverage has various pro's and con's. The biggest difference is that a Medicare Supplement is a supplement to Original Medicare. Original Medicare rules and coverages apply and then the Medicare Supplement plan covers all or a portion of the beneficiary's responsibility and may provide additional benefits that Medicare doesnt cover. This gives you the most choice because you can go to any Medicare provider with no prior authorization in the U.S., but there is a monthly premium. A Medicare Advantage Plan which can be an HMO, PPO, PFFS or several other types of plans, offered by private companies, becomes the primary payor if you enroll in their plan. They may offer little or no monthly premium, but the beneficiary must stay within the network of contracted providers in order to get the most benefits out of plan. In addition, the plan often provides additional benefits that Original Medicare doesnt cover such as vision, dental, & gym memberships. You may save money with this plan, but you have to follow the rules of the plan and stay in-network for coverage, unless an out-of-network benefit is provided.

How is Medicare paid for?
By premiums paid by workers and their employers. - Addition/Clarification:Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) is paid through payroll taxes. In order to be entitled for part A you must work a total of 40 quarters of the year (10 years, but doesn't have to be continuous) to qualify. If you don't work the required time then a premium will be required to obtain the benefit based on how many quarters you paid into the system. Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) is paid through a premium deducted from the SSA check. The premium is higher if the recipient has a substantial income in retirement. (info on the tiered premiums are available on Medicare.gov) Medicare Part D (Drug Coverage) is paid through premiums paid to the part D provider (these can also be deducted from the SSA check, but an authorization is required) Medicare B & D also get subsidized by the Federal Govt.

No, you only have EITHER Part A of Medicare OR Part B of Medicare to get Part D. It is not necessary to have both parts to get D. This is completely incorrect according to the Social Security Adm. (This is where you have to sign up for Medicare). I was told this information 9-24-10.

Medicare does not require anyone to register at age 65 or any other time. However, your health insurance company might require you to register in order for Medicare to be your primary insurance.
