Original Medicare Plan:
Sometimes
referred to as “fee-for-service,” the Original Medicare Plan

hospital, or other health care provider who accepts Medicare. The individual
must pay the deductible. Medicare pays its share of the Medicare-approved
amount, and the individual pays his or her share (coinsurance). The
Original Medicare Plan has two parts: Part A (hospital insurance) and
Part B (medical insurance).
