DEFINITION of 'Nonrenewable Resource'. A resource of economic value that cannot be readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its consumption. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are considered nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.
Election-Enrollment in, or voluntary disenrollment from, an MMP, an MA plan or the traditional Medicare fee-for-service program (âOriginal Medicareâ) constitutes an election (disenrollment from Original Medicare would occur only when an individual enrolls in an MMP or MA plan).
Medicare Advantage health plans (such as HMOs and PPOs) are legally required to offer at least the same benefits as Original Medicare, but can include additional coverage as well, such as routine vision or dental benefits, health wellness programs, or prescription drugs.
