What is Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Advantage Plans are also known as Part C plan and constitute a section of Medicare Programs. Your health care that is covered by Medicare can be obtained when you opt for this plan. The coverage for prescription drugs that are a part of Part D plans may also be covered under this plan or you can register in a separate Part D plan to receive the prescription drugs coverage.

The inclusions of the Medicare Advantage Plan are:

  • HMO (Health Maintenance Organizations)

  • PPO (Preferred Provider Organizations)

  • PFFS Plans (Private Fee-for-Service Plans)

  • SNP (Special Needs Plan)

  • MSA (Medical Savings Account)

What do these plans cover?

Advantage Plans must provide your Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) benefits, including emergency and urgent care. The only major benefit area not covered by Advantage Plans would be hospice.
