Note from the Instructor: Overview of the four parts of Medicare, Part I

During several recent Medicare Boot Camp—Hospital Version^® classes, I noticed some confusion about the four parts of Medicare. With respect to each part, there appeared to be confusion about the authority or entity responsible for determining the scope of covered services, beneficiary cost sharing, adjudication of claims, and payment for covered services. Based upon this apparent need for clarification, this is the first of three notes that will focus on the four parts of Medicare: Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B, Medicare Part C, and Medicare Part D.
