How does the original Medicare Plan work?
The original Medicare Plan is the traditional fee-for-service system that covers your health care needs. The original Medicare Plan has two parts, Part A for hospital services and Part B for physician services. But not everybody is eligible for both parts. Medicare pays its share of the bill and you pay the balance. You may choose to go to any doctor, hospital, or other health care provider, like a home health agency, which accepts Medicare payment.
