Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage, also called MA or Medicare Part C, is an alternative to Original Medicare offered by private Medicare-approved companies. Depending on your medical care needs, Medicare Advantage may offer you more appropriate coverage and potentially save you money.
Medicare Advantage provides full Original Medicare coverage (Parts A and Part B), and may include extra coverage such as vision, dental, and/or wellness and fitness programs like gym memberships. These plans offer a bundled alternative to Original Medicare and usually include Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) as well. You can often customize your benefits packages for your specific health care needs.
