What is Medicare?

Medicare is a Federal health insurance program which is divided into four categories: Medicare Part A, Part B, Part C (Medicare Advantage), and Medicare Part D for prescriptions. Medicare covers:

People 65 years or older
Certain younger people with disabilities
People with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, called ESRD)

“The information that Age Well provided to me helped us make informed decisions about Part D and supplemental coverage, and the transition to Medicare went smoothly. Medicare has enabled William to have the surgeries he’s needed to remain mobile.”
