Medicare comparison tools help when making healthcare decisions

The Medicare website, www.medicare.gov, hosts comparison tools that provide information about available healthcare services and quality of care in your area and across the country.

Quality can vary between facilities and agencies. To make the best decision, talk to your family, healthcare provider, or discharge planner. Call the facility or agency and ask questions. Review the information on the Medicare website.
