Directions
Go to the Medicare Homepage: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). (n.d.). The official US government site for Medicare. Retrieved from http://www.medicare.gov/default.aspx
You will write a paper on your Medicare decision making experience.
You will need to read about the different plan options: A, B, C, and D.
Because the rates and availability of the different plans differ by state, you will need to provide your zip code to see what plans are available to you. zip code to use is 18610, PA.
Give a summary of each of the Medicare plan options (A, B, C, D) and how they differ.
Consider
Consider On which Medicare plan did you decide? Be specific. Give the rationale to defend which Medicare option you chose. What about Part D… what decision did you make about that?
