Medicare Advantage: The Alternative To Original Medicare

 

If you don’t want Original Medicare, you do have an alternative option. Part C plans, or Medicare Advantage plans, are Medicare plans that are sold by private insurance companies. These companies contract with Medicare to provide Medicare beneficiaries with their Part A and Part B coverage.

 

Through a Medicare Advantage plan, you have more options for benefits and your benefits are also bundled into a single plan. The additional benefits you can get through Medicare Advantage include:

​

• Gym memberships

• Prescription drug coverage

• Transportation for doctor visits

• Health and wellness services

• Vision Services

• Dental Services

• Hearing Services
