MEDICARE
WHAT IS MEDICARE?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that pays for a variety of health care expenses. The Centers administer it for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
OUR SERVICES
Medicare benefits people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant, sometimes called ESRD).
Similar to Social Security, Medicare is an entitlement program.
Most U.S. citizens earn the right to enroll in Medicare by working and paying their taxes for a minimum required period. Even if you didn’t work long enough to be entitled to Medicare benefits, you might still be eligible to enroll, but you might have to pay more.
