Medicare Part B covers preventative health care, doctor's fees and outpatient hospital care. Part B also includes durable medical equipment and some home health care services.
Medicare Part C is an alternative program to Original Medicare. Insurance companies that are approved by the government to provide Medicare coverage operate Advantage Plans.
