Affordable Care Act

As part of the Affordable Care Act, Congress intended for information about health care to be more accessible and transparent to consumers (i.e., patients). As part of this effort, millions of dollars were spent on website support, including assistance for Medicare beneficiaries. The results from those efforts appear at www.medicare.gov. Access the website and, as you become familiar with the layout, see if you can answer any of the following questions:

Where can you learn about preventive and screening services?
What is a Medigap policy?
Where can you find the necessary forms to file a Medicare appeal?
Does Medicare cover private-duty nursing?
What is Medicare Part D?
