Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C)

A type of Medicare health plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans provide all of your Part A and Part B benefits, with a few exclusions, for example, certain aspects of clinical trails which are covered by Original Medicare even though you're still in the plan.

Medicare Advantage Plans include:

- Health Maintenance Organizations

- Preferred Provider Organizations

- Private Fee-for-Service Plans

- Special Needs Plans

- Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans

If you're enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan:

- Most Medicare services are covered through the plan, rather than original Medicare

- Most Medicare Advantage Plans offer prescription drug coverage

- Medicare Advantage Plans typically have networks of providers in most cases, you'll need to use health care providers who participate in the plan's network. These plans set a limit on what you'll have to pay out-of-pocket each year for covered services. Some plans offer non-emergency coverage out of network, but typically at a higher cost.
