Find the right Medicare Advantage plan
Your Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan costs and care options can vary based on the plan you choose. We’ll help you compare and choose the best Part C plan based on your needs.
Why should you choose a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan?
Original Medicare health insurance is managed by the federal government. It includes Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance).
Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are run by private insurance companies. They cover everything in Parts A and B, plus much more. Most include benefits like prescription drug (Medicare Part D), dental, and vision coverage not available with Original Medicare.
Is a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan right for you?
Many people who have Original Medicare decide they need additional coverage. Almost half of all Medicare enrollees – over 30 million people - sign up for plans like Medicare Advantage that provide more coverage. Why?
Convenience of an “all-in-one” plan with more benefits than Original Medicare
$0 and low monthly premiums for most plans
Greater control over out-of-pocket costs
Recent studies have also shown improved health outcomes and overall lower costs with a Medicare Advantage plan over other plan types.
