What is Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are run by private insurance companies and combine Medicare Parts A (hospital coverage) and B (doctor coverage) plus additional benefits all in one plan. Many plans also include prescription drug coverage, known as MA-PD or Medicare Advantage with Prescription Drug plans. These plans often come with no additional premium beyond what you already pay for Part B. To be eligible to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, you must have Original Medicare (Parts A and B), and continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium each month, unless it is otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another party.
