Most Americans join Medicare when they turn 65, but it’s also available to younger people with certain disabilities and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure that requires dialysis or a transplant).
Medicare is a national health insurance program administered by the federal government. It is not part of the Health Insurance Marketplace. Medicare is made up of four parts. Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) are considered Original Medicare. Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage Plans) and Medicare Part D (prescription drug) are plans offered by insurance companies and private companies that contract with Medicare. You can elect to purchase more Medicare coverage offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, a Division of Health Care Service Corporation.
