Introduction

Welcome to the Other Insurance and Ways To Pay Health Care Costs lesson.

Not every person with Medicare is certain about what health insurance he or she has and what it helps pay for. Medicare may not be the only health care coverage a person has or can get. He or she may also be able to receive more health care coverage that will:

  • Lower out-of-pocket costs
  • Provide more benefits than Medicare alone

The type of coverage a person with Medicare has will affect:

  • How much he or she pays
  • What benefits he or she may have
  • Which doctors can see he or she
  • Other factors that may be important
