Medicare is structured into which parts?

Medicare is structured into which parts?

• A. Plans E-F
• B. Parts A, B, C, and D
• C. Sections 1-4
• D. Grants

Answer: (B)

Medicare is organized around four distinct parts that cover different kinds of care. Part A is hospital insurance, covering inpatient hospital stays and related services. Part B is medical insurance for outpatient services, doctor visits, preventive care, and certain equipment. Part C, Medicare Advantage, is an optional option through private plans that provides Parts A and B benefits (and often extra features) in a bundled plan, sometimes with additional benefits and sometimes drug coverage. Part D adds prescription drug coverage, also delivered through private plans. The other options aren’t real designations within Medicare—there aren’t plans E or F, no “sections” you enroll by, and grants aren’t a Medicare structure.
