Medicare Advantage plans—also called Part C—are offered by private insurance companies that are approved by Medicare. Instead of receiving your Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) benefits directly from the government, a Medicare Advantage plan bundles them into one organized policy.
Many Medicare Advantage plans also include prescription drug coverage (the equivalent of a Part D plan) and may offer extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, or wellness programs. These plans typically use provider networks such as HMOs or PPOs, and they set an annual out-of-pocket maximum that can help limit your costs for covered services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare?
Original Medicare is run by the federal government and lets you see any provider that accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage is offered by private companies, bundles your Part A and Part B benefits, often adds drug coverage and extras, and generally uses a provider network (HMO or PPO).
Do Medicare Advantage plans include prescription drug coverage?
Many do. Most Medicare Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug coverage (often called MA-PD plans), though some do not. We help you check each plan's formulary against the medications you take.
