Medicare recipients

Federal health enrollees

Medicare recipients are people who receive benefits from Medicare, the U.S. federal health insurance program primarily serving Americans aged 65 and older, along with certain younger people with disabilities.

The term appears frequently in healthcare policy discussions and medical billing contexts: Medicare recipients may face higher out-of-pocket costs under the proposed changes.
