Medicare at a Glance: Quick Reference Job Aid

The resource is designed to help providers and staff quickly understand foundational Medicare concepts while reinforcing the importance of referencing official CMS guidance.

Learning Goal: Enable providers and provider staff to quickly identify the purpose of each Medicare coverage part (A–D) and know where to find authoritative guidance for additional information.
The Problem
Providers often need quick, reliable reference materials to understand Medicare fundamentals without searching through lengthy policy documents. This job aid addresses that need by summarizing key coverage areas in a concise, scannable format.
The Solution
I designed a one-page provider job aid that breaks down Medicare Parts A–D using plain-language descriptions, visual hierarchy, and compliance-minded messaging. The job aid emphasizes clarity, accuracy, and ease of use while directing providers to official CMS and contractor resources for additional guidance.
