You get Part A (hospital coverage) automatically, part B you have to sign up for and pay for (unless you have Medicaid, then you don't pay). Part C is Medicare Advantage plans (HMO's) and Part D is prescription drug coverage. Of course if you have a lot of health issues, you may be better off with a Medicare Supplement - but you need Part B to get this, I believe.

See my prior discussion on this. I'm not wrong, I just didn't have all of the information SWBTATTReg Jun 2022 #5

Part C is not always HMO's there are several Medicare Advantage plans that are PPO's DuaneT Aug 2022 #7

One just has to pay attention and be sure to only take the HMO, the PPO is way more expensive. lark Aug 2022 #8
