Medicare & Long-Term Care Planning

Medicare is health insurance for Americans aged 65 and older (and certain younger populations with disabilities). Components include Part A (hospital), Part B (medical), Part D (prescription drugs), and Medicare Advantage (Part C). Long-term-care options may include traditional LTC insurance, hybrid life/LTC, and short-term care policies. Eligibility, premiums, and underwriting vary, and the rules and carriers differ by state.
