Medicare Basics for
Caregivers
What Is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people
-
age 65 and older
-
under age 65 with certain disabilities who have been receiving
Social Security disability benefits for a certain amount of time
(24 months in most cases)
-
of any age who have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), which is
permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant.
Medicare helps with the cost of health care, but it does not cover
all medical expenses.
