Medicare is not automatic. You must apply for it by visiting
or calling your local Social Security office.
FACT:
There are three important parts to traditional Medicare:
- Medicare Part A provides partial coverage for inpatient hospitalization and skilled nursing facility care.
- Medicare Part B is optional and provides partial coverage for doctor office visits and other medical services.
- Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (also called Medicare Part D) became effective January 1, 2006. It can help you save money on your medications. Like Part B, it is optional.
FACT:
UPMC Health Plan is one of the private companies approved
by Medicare to offer Medicare's new Prescription Drug Plan

Affordable plans are available from UPMC Health Plan
with more coverage than traditional Medicare, as well as
Medicare prescription drug benefits. (Important Note: You
