What is Medicare?

Medicare is a health insurance program for:

  • People who are 65 or older,
  • People under age 65 with certain disabilities,
  • People of all ages with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant, sometimes called ESRD).
  • People who have ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

What is Medicare Part A & B and What Does it Cover?


Other Plans that Work with Original Medicare

Original Medicare does not cover all of your medical costs. It only covers about 80 percent of your Medicare- approved benefits. You’ll have to pay out-of-pocket costs for deductibles, coinsurance, and copays.

Plus, Original Medicare doesn’t cover all the healthcare services you may need, such as hearing aid services, routine eye exams, and most outpatient prescription drugs. You have a choice of private health plans, like ATRIO, to help pay those costs and cover other healthcare services. These private health plans are Medicare Advantage or Part C, Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, and Medicare Supplement plans.


When Can I Enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan?

ATRIO is a Medicare Advantage Plan. If you want to enroll, you must:

  • Be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B (you can check this by referring to your red, white, and blue Medicare card)
  • Live within the plan’s service area
  • Have a valid enrollment period

When you choose one of our plans, you get extra benefits that Original Medicare does not cover. Learn more about these benefits:


Low Income Premium Subsidy

If you get extra help from Medicare to help pay for your Medicare prescription drug plan costs, your Saint Mary's ATRIO monthly plan premium and prescription drug copays will be lower than what it would be if you did not get extra help from Medicare. The amount of extra help you get will determine your total monthly plan premium and prescription drug copays as a member of our Plan. See the document available below for the premium and copays amounts you would pay if you received extra help.
