Choose from a variety of Medicare Advantage plans designed to help you get the most out of your Medicare coverage. With a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll have all the benefits of Original Medicare. It can also include extra features such as emergency care, wellness programs, Medicare Part D and other benefits.
What Is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, is health coverage offered by private insurance companies. Medicare Advantage plans offer the same benefits as Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) and often includes additional coverage such as prescription drugs, dental, vision, and hearing.
One difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage is that most Medicare Advantage plans have dedicated networks of doctors and hospitals, much like employer or individual insurance you may have had in the past. With Original Medicare, you can use any provider that accepts Medicare.
HealthMarkets can help you determine which type of Medicare is right for you. Just answer a few questions and use the FitScore™ to find plans that fit your needs, including plans that cover your doctors, prescription drugs, and pharmacy. You can compare plans and enroll online.
