Understanding your insurance

Getting started on treatment and navigating insurance can feel complicated. Expand each term to learn more about the basics of health insurance.

Medicare is a federal insurance program for adults aged 65 years or older. Younger individuals with certain types of disabilities or permanent kidney failure may also qualify.

Medicare may cover treatments for FDA-approved indications. This insurance program has 4 parts (A, B, C, and D), each providing a specific type of coverage.

  • Medicare Part A covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home healthcare
  • Medicare Part B helps cover doctors’ and other healthcare providers’ services, outpatient care, home healthcare, durable medical equipment, and many preventive services
  • Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) is a Medicare-approved plan from a private company that offers an alternative to Original Medicare for your health and drug coverage. These “bundled” plans include Part A, Part B, and usually Part D
  • Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs
  • Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) is extra insurance you can buy from a private company that helps pay your share of costs in Original Medicare  

Medicaid is a health insurance program that is administered by the government. Medicaid may provide coverage for families with low income, individuals who are pregnant, older adults, and people with disabilities. Each state has different eligibility rules.

Commercial insurance, also called private insurance, is provided and administered by a private insurance company. You may receive this insurance from your employer or purchase it from the Health Insurance Marketplace.

A summary of benefits is a short, plain-language summary about a health plan’s benefits and coverage. You can use it to compare the benefits and cost of different insurance plans.

Most insurance companies need to pre-approve specific healthcare services, prescriptions, or equipment before you can receive it. This process for getting approval is called a prior authorization (pre-authorization).

Each insurance company's timeline for the VYVGART prior authorization process may vary. Medicare does not require prior authorization. Reach out to your Nurse Case Manager if you have questions about the process or need an update.
