What Benefits Does Medicare Provide?
If you are eligible for Medicare, you can choose from a range of health plans. The Original Medicare Plan is available in all locations. However, not all of the other choices may be available in your area. A “Medicare Personal Plan Finder” is available online at www.medicare.gov to help you choose the plan in your area that’s best for you.
Medicare's publication "Medicare & You" explains the rules about which health care services and supplies Medicare covers, what specific benefits you can get, and when you can get them. It also explains how much Medicare pays for each service, and how much you pay.
