Part C, often known as Medicare Advantage

Part C, the third component of Medicare, is often known as a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage plans are provided by a commercial insurance firm that has a contract with Medicare. These plans will offer your Part A and Part B coverage, as well as additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare.

Part D, or prescription coverage, is also available through Medicare Advantage plans, which you can learn more about here. Part C is accessible to all Medicare beneficiaries who have Medicare Parts A and B and do not have end-stage renal illness who live within a plan’s coverage region.

Medicare Advantage plans were developed to provide Medicare beneficiaries with a new method of getting benefits, with many options to discover the best match for your budget and lifestyle.
