MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS

Medicare Advantage plan or Original Medicare?

A Medicare Advantage plan, also known as Part C, is available through private insurance companies that are approved by Medicare. When you purchase a Medicare Advantage plan, you still have Medicare. (Medicare Advantage plans are not a supplement.)

Medicare Advantage plans tend to package several parts into one plan. For example, a Medicare Advantage plan includes Part A (hospital coverage), Part B (medical coverage), and sometimes even Part D (prescriptions). It covers emergency services and urgent care visits, but not hospice care. All hospice care services are covered by Original Medicare, even if you are in a Medicare Advantage Plan.

Some Medicare Advantage plans have extra features that many people find attractive.

DISCLAIMER
