Medicare Advantage — Medicare Part C

Medicare Advantage offers the same coverage as Medicare Parts A and B, but may also add coverage for other services.

These plans are provided by private insurance companies approved by CMS instead of the government and are an alternative to Original Medicare. Most Medicare Advantage plans have dedicated networks of doctors and hospitals.

Medicare Supplement — Medigap

Medicare Supplement plans help with expenses not covered by Original Medicare (Medicare Parts A and B).

These plans can help cover some out-of-pocket costs like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Whether you prefer higher premiums or lower out-of-pocket costs, there are a variety of Medigap plans available.

Medicare Prescription Drug Plans — Medicare Part D

Prescription drug coverage (Medicare Part D) can be used in conjunction with Original Medicare and can help cover the costs of your medications.

Original Medicare doesn’t cover most prescription drugs you purchase at a pharmacy. A Medicare prescription drug plan can help you manage the cost of current and future medications.
