Definition: Health insurance for Medicare refers to health insurance coverage provided by the Federal Employees Health Care Program (FEHCP) or a private health insurance plan that meets certain eligibility criteria. The main components of this program are: - The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program: This is designed specifically for federal employees and their dependents. Eligibility requirements include being employed at least 18 years old, having an annual income of $50,000 or less, and being a Medicare-eligible individual. - The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): This is a program that provides food assistance to low-income individuals who are unable to afford their own meals. Eligibility criteria include having a minimum household income of 130% of the Federal Poverty Level, and living in a certain geographic area. - Medicare Advantage plans: These are private health insurance plans offered by private insurance companies. They can be purchased from government-sponsored health savings accounts (HSAs) or through self-insurance for individuals and families. The goal of this program is to help eligible federal employees and their dependents manage the cost of medical expenses, especially those related to Medicare. However, some providers may offer more comprehensive coverage options, such as deductibles and co-payments, which can increase costs for patients.
