Medicare Explained, understanding Medicare, Medicare made clear. In this video I am going help you learn about Medicare explained in an easy to understand format. By the end of this video Medicare will be made clear for you. You will understand how Medicare works.
Once you understand the Medicare basics of Part A and Medicare Part B, you will be faced with choosing one of three paths to take with your Medicare. .
Medicare Part A is that portion of your health insurance that pays for your healthcare whenever you are an inpatient in a medical facility. As soon as you become an inpatient in a hospital, Medicare Part A takes over. The same when you become an inpatient in a skilled nursing facility or hospice. The one exception is that if you are not able to physically get to a medical facility for healthcare, Medicare Part A also pays for home healthcare.
Think of Medicare Part A is inpatient insurance.
Medicare Part B is the part of Medicare that pays for outpatient and physician services.
This is the portion Medicare insurance you use when you see a doctor or have lab tests or physical therapy and so on. Medicare Part B also includes some wellness coverage.
Medicare Part B is the part of Medicare people use most often because most of our medical care is via outpatient services. Even many surgeries and hospital services are now done as an outpatient and are thus covered under Medicare Part B.
It is important that this Medicare explained video communicate what you need to know about Medicare. Understanding Medicare is important. So Medicare made clear is the first step to making an informed decision.
Your Original Medicare (Part A & B) is good anywhere in the country. You can see any doctor, go to any medical facility in any state or territory, as long as they accept Medicare. You do not need to get permission from a primary care physician. You have both freedom to go where you need and control to see who you choose.
Also it is important to understand that Medicare Advantage Plans are local coverage. If you are a snowbird, and RVer or just travel the country that should rule MAPD as an option.

The huge Federal welfare programs, Social Security and Medicare will cost over 2 trillion this year. Seniors are stealing from their children and grandchildren. Both programs should be eliminated. Seniors should pay their own way.
Under Medicare Part A, are the surgeon’s bills paid for by Medicare while in the Hospital? Thanks so much!

I just accepted a job as a medicare customer service professional and am using your videos as a foundation to my understanding of medicare insurance. thank you, good stuff.
How do they just switch your supplement carrier to another carrier.
Thanks for replying.
I chose to keep my Fed Employee BC-BS insurance coverage after retiring at 65 because I wanted to live overseas and Medicare told me they wouldn’t cover me outside the USA .
My question, now that I plan to return to the US, I had automatically Medicare Part A, could I switch from BC-BS to Medicare Part B without penalty?
BC-BS is so expensive and hardly covers any of my medical expenses!
Hello Matthew I have my husband medical plan. I’ve just been put on ssdi but now is the time for my Medicare to kick in on August of 2022 they are telling me to pick a plan. I think original plan is the way to go for me. My question is since I have insurance already will my insurance company work with Medicare for my prescriptions or would I have to go and find a different plan. Confused on that part can you help me understand how this would work for me. Thanks again if I could call you, I will do so. So that I can really grasp what I need to do to understand this.
Matthew, Thank you so much for this video together. I found it extremely well done. The explanations are very clear and concise. Your review summaries are excellent! I never knew how involved Medicare and health care after retirement is going to be. Your explanations are advice are making it much more manageable. Thank you again!!
hi sir, this is the best video ever. i need this for work and it’s very very helpful . god bless you. nice voice and very easy to understand.
The open enrollment for Medicare is now for 2022 but my husband doesn’t turn 65 until the end of January 2023 can he or should he enroll now (before his birthday) during the open enrollment period?
Thank you Matthew for making all your videos understandable. I have had an influx of information by different vlogs that make it confusing. Knowing that there is quite alot to intake I appreciate your orientations.
Thank you, I know so much more than I did an hour ago! Good explanation with just the right amount of repeat.
The thing they never tell when pushing a Medicare Advantage plan is they only pay 80 percent and you are not allowed to buy a suppliment to pay the 20 percent. Why not say so?
Great video. I watched as a refresher course. I have A, B, G and D and recently received a bill for $84 after seeing a podiatrist for a fairly routine visit. I guess a call is in order to find out why as I thought G eliminates those doctor surprises. Thanks again.
Thank you for making these videos and helping me to understand Medicare. This has been so helpful and I feel better equipped to make an informed decision!!!!

Why are Medicare premiums so low?

Thank you!
Medicare is socialized medicine for seniors. All Americans should be allowed to enroll in programs like Medicare.
I’m a plan in I can afford it and usually I’m saving money. I also have VA medicine and check-ups if I need to
in simple terms, Medicare is socialized medical care for the elderly.
Do you have a video on helping with the AHIP test?
I’ve been trying to get my Korean wife enrolled through Medicare. However, since I am a retired service member in Korea and my wife is Korean they said I have to go through the US Embassy in the Philippines. I started in March 2021 and some of the delay was sending certified mail to Manila. I did that through a military postal service. It took a month to get to Manila, the Philippines and sat there for 3 months due to a lock down. Finally around October the Medicare section in Manila said all the correct paper work was done and was sent to the US for processing.
My wife still hasn’t received anything and now it has been 11 months and 2 weeks since we have started. I contacted Medicare in the US but they said I have to check with the US Embassy in the Philippines. However, the US Embassy says they have to wait for Medicare to finish in the US.
Talk about lazy, worthless and incompetent people. As a retired US Army service member, I was proud to serve my country. My only regret is that we also serve and protect those who could care less about us.
I am getting ready to sign up for Medicare Part B with either an advantage plan or medigap plan. I bought the Medicare for Dummies book, read a lot on line, read the tons of mail I have received, but your 30 minute video was outstanding and gave me all the information I needed to know to avoid an advantage plan and to go with a medigap plan. I wish I found your video sooner, would have saved hours of my life researching all of this. I am looking forward to checking out your other videos. Thank you again.

Come on you drag on.
I am so thankful finding this as I approach “the decision”…
Man I ask a “personal” question?- how do you folks make your money? You locate insurance companies for people…and than what?
Thanks.
Mark
I was told by Social Security office that Part A only covers hosptial room but not for any other tests that you get at the hospital. Is this true? She said that Part B covers other tests done at the hospital.
I liked this video. I have an agent who is recommending my part D. I heard you say at the end don’t use an agent. I will watch the other video as I am signing on Monday, I think. He has been a great agent over the years and trust his advice. So, this concerning now. Thank you so much for your time in information. I will watch the Part D video to see what I should do. Again, much thanks for making a video that I did not fall asleep with repetitious explanations. I understood it very well. This is my first at Medicare and it is not easy to grasp all that is needed to choose from at once.
👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥
It helps me to hear this explained in an easy-paced manner as you have. Thank you.
Was looking to help my mom sign up. This was so helpful. Thank you so much!
Matthew did an awesome bob of explaining Medicare part A and B in this video and made it very easy to understand! Thank You Matthew, I appreciate you!
No we won’t, because what should have been done is say use a representative example i.e a colonoscopy and show what it would cost using the various options.
Very nice explanation. Good speaking style, also.
Good to Know things about the Medicare Advantage plan.. vs. Medicare A (hospital) & B (dentist, eye doctor); MediGap (Medicare supplement plans)….
How about traveling overseas are you covered
Great explanation I am a plan in I think I’m saving some money and I can also afford the $20 for the doctor visits. I get medicine from the VA and also checkups if I care to thank you
Having to do a crash course and Medicare for parents. This video is very clear and helpful. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for this information. also, thank you for providing staff that answers the phone, calls you back, can make an appointment over the phone. I really appreciate the customer service so I can make the change from the so called advantage plans ( certainly not an advantage to the consumer) to original Medicare plus medigap plans.
You do a good job. Thank you
Very articulate and clear, I will be calling you soon! Thank you Matthew
Thank you for the information. I was recently approved for SSI disability. I received a Medicare card unexpectedly. I had no idea what decisions to make. My major question is this. I currently have a medicade plan, Arizona complete health. Do I need Medicare part B? Or is my medicade plan now my Medicare supplement plan? If anyone sees this please help.
Thank you for Channel. I am currently a life, accident and health insurance agent studying for United healthcare to be able to sell Med Supp products. The company that I work for has made it very clear that we do our business morally and ethically in favor of the clients’ he needs. I would also like to be able to educate my friends, family and acquaintances and other business partners. A quick review on your seminar; the information was presented very clearly, the recaps were a nice review. The resources that we can navigate on our own that you provided are a wonderful tool. The pace in which you recorded this video was nice and your cadence remained calm and consistent. If I could give you 10 Stars I would. Thank you for doing this for us all.
Medicare is socialized medicine. Fixed premiums. Fixed prices. Fixed eligibility. All subsidized by the Federal government.
Very well explained as it is very hard to delineate.
IF I take few meds and very rarely require to see specialists or go to hospital, is medicare andvantage plans beneficial
