Medicare Advantage
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 include 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.
