Medicare Costs
In general, Medicare Parts A&B pay 80% coinsurance of your hospital & medical bills. You’ll pay the remaining 20% coinsurance of the bills plus deductibles and copays which vary depending on the Medicare-approved service.
Most people choose to add a Medicare Supplement Plan (Medigap) to help pay for ALL or MOST of their out-of-pocket costs for Medicare-approved services.
If you choose to “REPLACE” Original Medicare A&B with "alternative coverage" called an Advantage Plan, then you must follow the insurance company-specific Advantage Plan's out-of-pocket cost structure.
