Medicare Advantage (also called Part C) is an alternative way to get your Medicare benefits through a
private insurance company approved by Medicare — bundling hospital, medical, and often prescription
drug coverage all in one plan.
Instead of using Original Medicare (Parts A and B) directly, you get the same hospital and medical coverage through a private plan. Most Medicare Advantage plans also include prescription drug coverage (Part D) bundled in, so you don't need a separate drug plan.
Many Medicare Advantage plans also offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn't cover, such as dental, vision, hearing, and even fitness programs like gym memberships.
Plans often have a yearly limit on out-of-pocket costs, which can provide more predictable spending throughout the year.
The trade-off is that most plans use networks of doctors and hospitals, so it's important to make sure your preferred providers are included — which is exactly the kind of detail we can help you check when comparing your options.
