What it is
An alternative way to get your benefits
Medicare Advantage — also called Medicare Part C — is offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans provide all the benefits of Original Medicare (Parts A and B), plus additional coverage that often includes prescription drugs, dental, vision, and wellness programs — all under a single plan.
Because plans differ in cost, networks, and extras, the right choice really depends on your doctors, your medications, and how you like to get care.

Plan types
Different Structures for Different Needs
Medicare Advantage plans come in several structures, tailored to different preferences. Here's a breakdown of the most common types.
PPO
Preferred Provider Organization
See any doctor or specialist, in or out of network, without a referral. Out-of-network care is available but may cost more.
HMO
Health Maintenance Organization
Emphasizes in-network care, usually with a primary care physician and referrals. Often lower out-of-pocket costs, less flexibility.
PFFS
Private Fee-for-Service
The plan sets how much it pays and what you owe. More flexibility in choosing providers, though rules and costs can vary.
SNP
Special Needs Plans
Tailored to people with specific conditions or situations — chronic illness, institutional care, or dual Medicare-Medicaid eligibility.
MSA
Medical Savings Account
Pairs a high-deductible plan with a savings account you can use for eligible medical costs, often with lower premiums.
VA
Plans for Veterans
Options designed to complement VA healthcare benefits, adding coverage choices alongside what the VA provides.

Common questions
Medicare Advantage FAQs
What is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, is an alternative way to receive your Medicare benefits. It combines Part A and Part B coverage and often adds extras like prescription drugs, dental, vision, and wellness programs. These plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare.
How does Medicare Advantage work?
You receive your Medicare benefits through a private plan. Advantage plans must cover everything Original Medicare covers, but they may have different costs, rules, and networks. Many plans ask you to use doctors and hospitals within the plan's network.
What additional benefits can I get?
Advantage plans can offer benefits beyond Original Medicare, which may include prescription drug coverage (Part D), dental, vision, hearing aids, fitness programs, and even transportation to medical appointments. Exact extras vary by plan.
Can I enroll if I have pre-existing conditions?
Yes. Medicare Advantage plans can't deny you coverage based on pre-existing conditions. Some plans may have specific rules for certain services, which we can help you understand before you enroll.
How does Medicare Part D work?
Part D is a standalone prescription drug plan from private insurers approved by Medicare. Each plan has a list of covered drugs (a formulary), and you pay a monthly premium plus copays or coinsurance for your medications.
When can I enroll in or switch Advantage plans?
Initial Enrollment Period — when you first become eligible for Medicare, around your 65th birthday.
Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) — October 15 to December 7, when you can join, switch, or drop an Advantage plan.
Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment — January 1 to March 31, when current Advantage members can switch plans or return to Original Medicare.
