Medicare Part C

What it helps cover:

• Medicare Advantage plans are required by law to provide—at minimum—the same coverage, benefits and rights provided by Original Medicare Part A and Part B, with the exception of hospice care.

• Many Medicare Advantage plans also choose to offer prescription drug coverage, as well as coverage for routine dental, vision and hearing benefits.

​

What it costs:

• Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies contracted by the federal government, so they vary in cost, coverage, deductibles and copays.

• Many Medicare Advantage plans offer affordable, low premiums. Some even offer zero cost premiums and other benefits not offered by Original Medicare (Medicare Parts A and B).
