There are various ways to accomplish this, with Medicare being the most important for many Americans.<br><br>\nMedicare generally provides health insurance for most people age 65 and older, and others who have received Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 months, have end-stage renal disease or have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease). Medicare is similar to Social Security, since it is a federal program that you have paid into throughout your career. Just like Social Security, you want to maximize this benefit in retirement.<br><br>\nMedicare is split into four parts:<br><br>\n\u2022\tPart A: Hospital insurance \u2013 covers the costs of health care at medical facilities. Offers coverage for medically necessary inpatient care at hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, hospices and some home health services.<br><br>\n\u2022\tPart B: Medical insurance \u2013 covers the costs of health care outside medical facilities. Offers coverage for doctors\u2019 services, hospital outpatient care, mental health and some preventative health care services.<br><br>\n\u2022\tPart C: Medicare Advantage (MA) plans \u2013 policies you can purchase from certain private insurance carriers that provide the same (or more) coverage as Parts A and B.<br><br>\n\u2022\tPart D: Prescription drug coverage offered through private Medicare-approved insurance companies.<br><br>\nMany people with Part A do not pay a premium because they have already paid enough into the system. As with Social Security, a certain portion from each one of your paychecks is deducted to pay for Medicare. When you\u2019ve had Medicare tax withheld from you or your spouse\u2019s pay for at least 40 calendar quarters, then you may be eligible for free Part A coverage.<br><br>\nThe monthly premium associated with Part B is set according to income level, although most people will pay a standard monthly premium amount and a small yearly deductible. Individuals and couples who have an annual income greater than their corresponding thresholds will have an extra charge added to their premium due to their high income level. Parts C and D are provided via private insurance companies so the monthly premiums of these policies depend on the extent of their coverage and can vary between companies.<br><br>\n<small><i>Disclosure: \n\nWe are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Social Security Administration or any other government agency.<br>\nWe do not offer every plan available in your area.
