What Is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage plans, also called Medicare Part C, are an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. Private companies approved by Medicare offer you MA plans. These companies must meet the specific guidelines set by Medicare to offer coverage. MA plans provide you with the Medicare benefits of Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical). You also have the option of joining an MA Plan that includes Medicare Part D prescription drugs. Some Medicare Advantage plans may offer fitness programs, vision, hearing and dental services.
