Chart Medicare A & B – Then Medi Gap
Medicare Part A
(#Hospital Insurance)
- Medicare Part A Hospital coverage helps pay for care in hospitals as an inpatient,... skilled nursing facilities, hospice care, and some home health care (see publication # 10969) but not Long Term Care.
- Most people get Part A automatically when they turn age 65 at no charge, since they or a spouse paid Medicare taxes while they were working. You need to sign up close to your 65th birthday, even if you will not be retired by that time. (If you are getting Social Security benefits when you turn 65, your Medicare Hospital Benefits - Part A - start automatically.)
- Here's a chart it's just a illustration and is NOT official that shows what Medicare pays, the gaps in Medicare and what you may get when you add a Medi Gap Plan or Medicare Advantage to cover those gaps

Part B - Outpatient helps Pay For Doctors' services, outpatient hospital care, and some other medical services that Part A does not cover, such as the services of physical and occupational therapists, and some home health care see publication 10969, but not Long Term Care. Part B helps pay for these covered services and supplies when they are medically necessary.

Just received a membership card from Blue of CA, called Silver Sneakers Fitness Program. I called the gym listed – Canyon Crest Athletic Club (One of the premier clubs in Riverside). They told me with the card, I am essentially a full-fledged member of the club with access to all facilities!
Pretty good deal for $53 / month Insurance premium.
