Medicare is a national health care program administered by the federal government for people 65 or older, people with qualifying disabilities, and people with end-stage renal disease. The four types of Medicare are:

• Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital costs, care at a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some options for home health care services. However, this is only for short-term care. For long-term care options, Medicaid or long-term care insurance are your better options.
• Medicare Part B covers physician services and services from other health care providers, durable medical equipment, outpatient care, some home health care services, and many preventative services.
• Medicare Part C is also known as the Medicare Advantage Plan and involves a private company providing the benefits listed under Medicare Part A and Part B with approval from Medicare. It also provides some prescription drug coverage and other supplemental benefits.
• Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs and is offered through private insurance companies.

Working with an attorney in advance of applying for Medicare can help increase your chances of accessing the program. If your application for Medicare enrollment is denied, you should work with an attorney who can review the application and help you modify it to increase your chances of being approved for benefits. We can help you with your appeal and discuss your options.

Medicare fraud is taken very seriously by the government. By working with an attorney in advance of your application, you will be able to avoid any potentially risky situations. If you have been accused of fraudulently obtaining benefits, you should consult with an attorney immediately.
