Pick a Prompt
- Each prompt is written as a question you can ask an AI assistant in your own words.
- Replace every item in [brackets] with your own facts — for example, your state, ZIP code, plan name, medications, and symptoms. The more specific you are, the more useful the answer.
- Tell the AI which coverage you have: Original Medicare (with or without a Medigap policy), a Medicare Advantage plan, a Part D plan, Medicaid, or Extra Help.
- Ask follow-up questions such as "What should I verify with my plan?" or "What documents will my doctor need?"
- Always confirm coverage, costs, and rules with Medicare (1-800-MEDICARE), your plan, your doctor, or your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) before making a decision.
Which Part Usually Pays?
| Part A | Hospital inpatient care, skilled nursing facility stays, home health, hospice. |
|---|---|
| Part B | Doctor and specialist visits, tests and imaging, outpatient therapy, outpatient procedures, durable medical equipment, some pump-delivered drugs. |
| Part D | Most prescription drugs you take at home, including most Parkinson's pills. |
This is a general guide. How a specific treatment is billed can depend on where it is given, how it is delivered, and whether you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan.
