This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:
Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)
…or something like this:
The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

- Medicare is the federal health insurance plan for people who are 65 or older, are living with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or certain younger people with disabilities.
- Medicare is broken into 4 components:
- Medicare Part A covers care related services while in a hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice, or some home health services.
- Medicare Part B covers certain physician services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.
- Medicare Part C is a Medicare replacement or advantage plan and discussed more in the next section.
- Medicare Part D is prescription drug coverage.
Medicare is designated for the population aged 65 and older, or certain individuals with specific diagnoses. If you are 65 or older and have worked at least 10 years where you paid federal taxes, you might be eligible for premium-free Medicare.
- Medicare Part A covers up to 100 days of skilled nursing care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). Coverage of 100 days is not automatic, and a person must qualify for skilled services to be covered. The first 20 days of skilled care will be covered at 100%, and if skilled services are needed beyond 20 days, Medicare cover all but the assigned daily coinsurance which changes annually. The remaining balance starting on day 21 is co-insurance and will either be considered private pay and be paid out-of-pocket or could be covered by a secondary insurance plan such as a Medicare Supplement policy or Medicaid. Not all Medicaid Programs cover the Medicare Part A coinsurance.
- It is important to understand your plan of care developed by the interdisciplinary team of clinicians at the SNF to plan for any expenses related to the stay. The Business Office Manager or designee will provide you with an explanation of your benefits available and we encourage you to confirm the findings, to include how many Medicare days are available
While living in a Nursing Facility, Medicare Advantage patients are able to disenroll from their Medicare Advantage plan, changing to traditional Medicare, by submitting a request to do so at any time during the year.
Medicare Advantage plans are designed by the Federal government to allow beneficiaries the opportunity to purchase their Medicare benefits from commercial insurance companies. The plans provide the same coverage as traditional Medicare Parts A and B, however, additional benefits are often offered.
Typically, with a Medicare Advantage plan there is a monthly premium due for the plan, and this premium can vary from one year to the next. You will be made aware of any changes to the Medicare Advantage plan you are enrolled in. Medicare Advantage plans also offer additional benefits from what traditional Medicare offers, such as dental, vision, and hearing benefits.
