help Your Medicare Benefits FAQ
What does the Your Medicare Benefits booklet explain?
It is a CMS guide to Medicare Part A and Part B coverage, including covered services, deductibles, coinsurance, and beneficiary rights. It is intended as general program information, not as a personalized coverage decision.
What is the difference between Medicare Part A and Part B?
Part A primarily covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice, and certain home health services. Part B covers doctors' services, outpatient care, durable medical equipment, and other medically necessary services.
Does Your Medicare Benefits say that Medicare pays every medical bill?
No. Original Medicare has deductibles, coinsurance, premiums, and services it does not cover, so the booklet explains beneficiary cost sharing. For example, the CMS 2026 figures list a Part A hospital deductible of $1,736 and a standard Part B premium of $202.90 per month.
