What is Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, is an alternative way to get Medicare coverage through a private insurance company instead of directly through the federal government. If the Medicare Advantage plan you choose does not cover prescription drugs you can add a Medicare Part D plan which is specifically for prescription drug coverage. You cannot have a Medicare Advantage plan and Medicare Supplement insurance at the same time. You must already be enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to qualify for Medicare Advantage. When you are ready to discuss a Medicare Advantage plan, contact Med-Care Senior Insurance Solutions.

What does Medicare Advantage (Part C) cover?

• Same coverage as Original Medicare (known as Parts A and B) 
• Prescription drug coverage 
• Dental and vision care 
• Hearing care and allowances for hearing aids 
• May also cover cost of non-emergency transportation, home health care, telehealth, other preventive modifications, and wellness programs with fitness benefits like exercise classes.
