Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans provide another way for individuals to receive their Medicare coverage.
Understanding how Medicare Advantage plans work can help you compare your options and decide what type of coverage may be the best fit for your needs.
What Is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage plans, sometimes called Medicare Part C, are offered through private insurance companies approved by Medicare.
These plans provide Medicare-covered services and may include additional benefits beyond Original Medicare.
Individuals enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan receive their Medicare coverage through the plan rather than directly through Original Medicare.
How Medicare Advantage Plans Work
Medicare Advantage plans are offered through private insurance companies that contract with Medicare.
When enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, individuals receive their Medicare-covered healthcare services through the plan.
Coverage details, provider networks, and additional benefits can vary depending on the plan and the area where you live.
Benefits Often Include:
Dental Coverage
Some plans include routine dental services.
Vision Benefits
Some plans include coverage for eye exams or eyewear.
Prescription Coverage
Many plans include prescription drug coverage.
Additional Wellness Benefits
Some plans may include fitness or wellness programs.
Over-the-Counter Items
Some plans can give you an OTC benefit for vitamins, supplements, and more.
Some Medicare Advantage plans may include additional benefits beyond Original Medicare, depending on the plan.
Who Considers Medicare Advantage?
Many individuals review Medicare Advantage plans when exploring their Medicare coverage options.
