Medicare has four parts:

Medicare Part A: Hospital Insurance

Helps pay for inpatient care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (following a hospital stay), some home health care and hospice care. Most people don't have to pay a plan premium for Part A.

Medicare Part B: Medical Insurance

Helps pay for doctors' services and many other medical services and supplies that are not covered by hospital insurance. Most people pay a monthly plan premium for Part B.

Walmart.com does not participate with Medicare Part B or any other similar insurance program. Items purchased through Walmart.com are not reimbursable under the Medicare Part B program and may not be reimbursable under other insurance programs.

Medicare Part A and Part B are often referred to as "Original Medicare."

Medicare Part C: Medicare Advantage

Provided by health insurance companies as a replacement of Part A and Part B. People with Medicare Parts A and B can choose to receive all of their health care services through one of these health plans instead of through Original Medicare. Part C plans are available in many but not all areas. Most people pay a monthly plan premium for Part C. This payment is in addition to the monthly premium paid for Part B.

Medicare Part D: Prescription Drug Coverage

Provided by private companies to help pay for outpatient prescriptions, which are not covered by Original Medicare. Part D is available to everyone with Medicare. Most people pay a monthly plan premium for Part D. Certain low-income Medicare beneficiaries, however, may not have to pay a monthly plan premium. This payment is in addition to the monthly premium paid for Part B.
