Consumer-Directed Health Plan: Consumer-Directed Health Plan (CDHP) means offering a high-deductible health plan paired with a spending account for out-of-pocket costs such as a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Integrated Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). What all CDHPs have in common is a personal healthcare account used to pay for medical expenses.

Medicare:

It is known as Medicare Part C.  Medicare Advantage Plans include Health Maintenance Organizations, Preferred Provider Organizations, Private Fee-for-Service Plans, Special Needs Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans. Most Medicare services are covered through the plan that aren’t paid for under Original Medicare. Most Medicare Advantage Plans offer prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Part D
A program that helps pay for prescription drugs for people with Medicare who join a plan that includes Medicare prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Supplemental:
Medicare Supplemental  Insurance policy known as Medigap is a policy that is sold by private companies. It can help pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover like copay, coinsurance, and deductibles.

Medicaid:
Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that helps with medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Medicaid also offers benefits not normally covered by Medicare, like nursing home care and personal care services. Each state has different rules about eligibility and applying for Medicaid.

Behavioral Health Services are needed when depression, changes in eating and sleeping habits, sudden poor performance in work, avoiding tendency, anxiety, suicidal tendency, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, hopelessness, lack of motivation and enthusiasm ,etc. are visible in a person's life.
