Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Medicare Advantage plans bundle Parts A and B and often include prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, and other extras. They're offered by private carriers approved by Medicare.
What Medicare Advantage covers
Everything Original Medicare covers, plus most plans include Part D prescription drugs and additional benefits.
Hospital, medical, and often drug coverage in one plan.
Many plans include dental, vision, hearing, fitness, or over-the-counter allowances.
Plans typically use HMO or PPO networks. Provider choice matters.
Copays, an annual out-of-pocket maximum, and often $0 monthly premiums.
How to compare plans
Available plans vary by ZIP code and county. Doctors in-network, prescriptions covered, and total annual costs are the three things to weigh.
