What Is a Beneficiary?

A beneficiary is the person entitled to receive benefits from an insurance plan or government program. If you have Medicare, you are a Medicare beneficiary. The term applies to anyone covered by a health plan, including policyholders and their dependents.

Why It Matters

Your status as a beneficiary determines your eligibility for specific medical services and what your share of the costs will be. Understanding your role as a beneficiary is the first step to making the most of your health benefits.
