Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) typically has monthly premiums, especially for Part B. While Part A might be premium-free if you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes for a certain period, Part B usually involves a cost. Fontana residents often find that understanding these base costs is the first step to budgeting for Medicare.
Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily for people 65 or older. It also covers younger people with certain disabilities and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. It helps pay for hospital stays (Part A) and medically necessary services and supplies (Part B).
Medicare generally doesn't cover long-term care, most dental care, eye exams for glasses, cosmetic surgery, acupuncture, or hearing aids. There are exceptions, but these are common exclusions that Fontana residents often need to plan for separately.
Generally, you need to be a U.S. citizen or legal resident for at least five years. You must also be at least 65 years old or have a qualifying disability. Meeting these basic criteria is essential for eligibility, but specific enrollment periods also apply.
Your monthly Medicare cost depends on the parts you enroll in and your income. Original Medicare (Part A and B) has standard premiums, but higher earners pay more. Medicare Advantage plans have their own premiums, which can vary greatly. Fontana residents can get a personalized estimate when they call.
No, not everyone pays the same amount for Medicare. Some people also pay premiums for Part A, but many don't if they qualify for premium-free Part A.
