We don’t typically spend much time talking about Medicare before it’s time to utilize it, and it’s easy to get confused about the four parts of the program and what each of them do.

Knowing your options and what each part covers will help you make the best decision for Medicare when it comes time. In this episode, Dale will explain each of the four parts, some of the misconceptions around Medicare, and list some of the services that you might be surprised to find out aren’t covered.
