As you approach age 65, navigating Medicare and all of its parts and plans may sound daunting, but it can be easier than you think. Original Medicare contains two parts: Part A and Part B. Medicare Part A covers hospital care, skilled nursing facility and hospice fees, and is usually premium-free. Medicare Part B covers medical and preventive services, as well as some medical equipment, for which there is a monthly premium (typically deducted from your Social Security payments).
