Medicare Plans are quickly becoming popular because of the extra benefits that are offered such as extra days in the hospital, cheap out-of-pocket costs for doctor visits, and low-cost prescriptions. These plans are offered throughout the United States through private insurers. Part A and Part B of Medicare is required to join the plan and Medicare’s Part B premium must be paid by the Medicare recipient in order to enroll. Private insurers offer policies that have varying co-payments and premiums that may start as low as $0.00 per month.
