Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage — also called Medicare Part C — bundles hospital, medical, and often drug coverage into one plan from a private insurer.
Talk to an AdvocateWhat Medicare Advantage covers
Medicare Advantage plans must cover everything Original Medicare covers. Beyond that, most plans add prescription drug coverage (Part D) and extras like dental cleanings, vision exams, and hearing aids. Plans are offered by private insurance companies that contract with Medicare, so benefits, costs, and networks vary by plan and ZIP code.
- Hospital stays (Part A): Inpatient care, skilled nursing, hospice.
- Doctor visits (Part B): Outpatient care, preventive services, durable medical equipment.
- Prescription drugs (Part D): Included in most plans — no separate drug plan needed.
- Dental, vision, hearing: Routine cleanings, eye exams, and hearing aids in most plans.
- Extra benefits: OTC allowances, transportation, fitness memberships on select plans.
Who it is for
Medicare Advantage tends to fit people who want predictable, lower out-of-pocket costs, are comfortable using a network of providers, and want benefits like dental and vision bundled in. If you travel frequently or want nationwide coverage with any doctor, a Medicare Supplement plan may be a better fit. Your Advocate will compare both side by side.
