Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people age 65 and older, as well as certain younger individuals who qualify due to a disability or specific medical conditions. Original Medicare includes Part A and Part B, while additional coverage options include Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D prescription drug plans.

Explore Your Medicare Coverage Options
There are many Medicare plans in Nevada available, but all fall into two types:
Original Medicare
Original Medicare includes Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance). While it provides essential healthcare coverage, many beneficiaries choose additional plans to help with out-of-pocket costs or prescription drug coverage.
Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. Many plans include prescription drug coverage and may offer additional benefits such as dental, vision, hearing, and wellness programs.
Medicare Supplement Plans
Medicare Supplement plans help cover certain out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare does not pay. They offer predictable healthcare expenses and allow you to see any provider that accepts Medicare.
Prescription Drug Plans
Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription medications. Coverage is available through standalone drug plans or may be included with many Medicare Advantage plans.
