If you are on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), you may qualify for Medicare insurance coverage.
- Medicare consists of three parts.
- Medicare Part A covers care in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, home care and hospice care. There is no charge for the Medicare Part A program.
- Medicare Part B covers "outpatient care" -- including visits to doctors, ambulance transportation and tests performed on an outpatient basis. Part B enrollees pay a monthly premium that is adjusted annually, plus a co-pay.
- Medicare Part D covers medications.
Instead of the traditional Medicare, Medicare beneficiaries can receive their benefits from what is referred to as a Medicare Advantage plan -- usually a type of managed care.
Assistance may be available to help pay Part B premiums.
