General Enrollment



There are two parts to Medicare: Part A and Part B. Medicare Part A helps cover your inpatient care in hospitals, critical access hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. It also covers hospice care and some home health care. Medicare Part B helps cover your doctors’ services, outpatient hospital care, and some other medical services that Medicare Part A doesn’t cover, such as some of the services of physical and occupational therapists, and some home health care. Medicare Part B helps pay for these covered services and supplies when they are medically necessary. For more coverage information, please visit the Your Medicare Coverage section of our website.


Part B Specific


Based on your answers, the amount you will pay each month for your Medicare Part B premium is $287.30 in 2010. This amount is based on your income. For more information see our FAQ: Medicare Part B Monthly Premiums in 2010. Most people who choose to enroll in Medicare Part B don't get a premium billing notice because their premiums are deducted from their monthly social security, railroad retirement or Office of Personnel Management annuity check. If you don't get any of these payments, Medicare will send you a bill for your Part B premium every 3 months.
