Medicare Advantage 101Medicare Advantage, sometimes known as “Part C,” is something of a catch-all choice for those who are ready to sign up for Medicare. Private insurers offer Medicare Advantage plans in conjunction with the Medicare program and can provide additional health insurance coverage. In addition to signing up for Medicare Part A (hospital stays) and Part B (medical coverage), Medicare Advantage plans offer their subscribers extra features. This frequently, but not always, includes the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. In some cases, Medicare Advantage plans offer coverage for areas not generally offered by regular Medicare plans. This can include dental, hearing, and vision insurance.2 |
