An AI program in the state of Utah has sparked a vigorous debate about the role of the technology in health care.

Dr. Alan Smith from WellCare talked with Jason Carr to help explain Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and what people can get covered. Medicare is the baseline federal health insurance program available for seniors and those with certain disabilities. Medicare Advantage includes Medicare Part A, B and D, plus additional benefits. Plans through Medicare Advantage can lessen out-of-pocket expenses, and can include benefits for hearing, dental and vision, depending on a plan. “We want to make sure every senior has adequate coverage, especially during the pandemic,” Smith said.
