Medicare aims to help older adults and those with certain health conditions fund healthcare costs, but it is not completely free. Each part of Medicare has different costs, which can include coinsurances, deductibles, and monthly premiums.

A deductible is a sum that a person must spend out-of-pocket before an insurance provider will start funding treatment. 

Coinsurance is when a person pays a certain percentage of treatment or consultation.

Copayments are fixed sums that a person pays for a drug prescription or service, rather than a percentage.
