Medicare has four main parts. Knowing what each covers helps you choose the right plan for your health and budget.
Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health services.
Part B covers outpatient care, doctor visits, preventive services, durable medical equipment, and some home health care.
An all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare offered by private insurers. Most plans include Part D coverage and often add dental, vision, and hearing benefits.
Part D is a standalone prescription drug plan offered by private insurers. It helps cover the cost of medications not covered under Parts A and B.

At The Pane Agency, my mission is simple: taking the "pane" out of insurance, and giving you the POWER to GAIN. Medicare can feel overwhelming — enrollment windows, plan types, penalties, and paperwork. I turn that confusion into a clear, personalized plan.
As an independent agent, I work with multiple top-rated insurance carriers so I can compare options across the board — not push a single plan. Whether you're turning 65, coordinating VA or Medicaid benefits, or reviewing your current coverage, I'm here to help — anywhere in New York State.
