Medicare Advantage... What's in it for me?
It's open enrolment, and if you've been considering a Medicare Advantage plan, here's a bit of information that just might help you make a smart choice.
What is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C is the part of Medicare policy that allows private health insurance companies to provide Medicare benefits. These Medicare private health plans, such as HMOs and PPOs, are known as Medicare Advantage Plans. If you want, you can choose to get your Medicare coverage through a Medicare Advantage Plan instead of through original Medicare.
We recommend that you do because in addition to the all the coverage outlined under original Medicare Part A and B, (with the exception of hospice care), Medicare Advantage plan members are eligible for a whole host of other benefits, typcially at no extra cost, which may include:
Dental,
Vision,
Hearing,
Preventative care, and more!
