What are Medicare Advantage Plans?
Medicare Advantage plans, sometimes called "Part C," are an alternative way to get your Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) benefits. These plans are offered by private insurance companies that are Medicare-related. When you choose a Medicare Advantage plan, the plan provides your Part A and Part B benefits, and often includes prescription drug coverage (Part D) and additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare.
Benefits of Medicare Advantage Plans
Many Medicare Advantage plans offer extra benefits like routine dental, vision, and hearing coverage, and sometimes fitness programs. These plans often have networks of doctors and hospitals you need to use, similar to employer-sponsored health plans. Plans can also have a maximum out-of-pocket limit, which caps how much you might pay for covered services in a year.
