Original Medicare (Part A & Part B) pays for much, but not all, of the cost for covered healthcare services.  That's where Part C comes in to help with copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.  

There are two main types of Part C coverage options:  Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicare Supplement Plans.
