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 plans provide a managed health care plan (typically a health maintenance organization (HMO) but also often a preferred provider organization (PPO) or another type of managed care arrangement) that is paid based on a monthly capitated fee.
