Options for receiving health services

September 5, 2008 by admin

Medicare beneficiaries may have choices for receiving health care services.

You can get more information about your health care options from the following publications:

• Medicare & You (Publication No. CMS-10050) - This general guide is mailed to people after they enroll in Medicare and an updated version is mailed each year after that.

• Choosing a Medigap Policy: A Guide To Health Insurance For People With Medicare (Publication No. CMS-02110) - This guide describes how other health insurance plans supplement Medicare and offers some shopping hints for people looking at those plans.

To get a copy of these publications, call the Medicare toll-free number, 1-800-MEDICARE(1-800-633-4227), or go to www.medicare.gov. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you may call TTY 1-877-486-2048.
