Medicare Part C - Medicare Advantage
More Benefits, Lower Out-of-pocket Costs than Original Medicare
What is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage is a private insurance plan that offers the same or more benefits than Original Medicare. Learn how Medicare Advantage works.
Why Medicare Advantage?
- Plans often include prescription drug coverage
- Low or even $0 premiums
- Your maximum out-of-pocket expenses are capped for the year
- Guaranteed acceptance (except for End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD))
Other Considerations:
- You may have to see doctors that are “in-network” for your plan
- Plan changes are limited to appropriate enrollment periods
- You continue to pay the Medicare Part B premium
