Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage is a Medicare-approved plan from a private company that offers an alternative to Original Medicare for your health and drug coverage
What is the difference between Medicare Advantage and regular Medicare?
Original Medicare covers inpatient hospital and skilled nursing services – Part A – and doctor visits, outpatient services and some preventative care – Part B. Medicare Advantage plans cover all the above (Part A and Part B), and most plans also cover prescription drugs (Part D).
What is the point of a Medicare Advantage Plan?
With a Medicare Advantage Plan, you may have coverage for things Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like fitness programs (gym memberships or discounts) and some vision, hearing, and dental services (like routine check ups or cleanings). Plans can also choose to cover even more benefits.

Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800-MEDICARE to get information on all of your options.

Medicare-approved Part D sponsor. Enrollment in the plan
depends on the plan’s contract renewal with Medicare.
