Grapevine Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) are private health plans that provide all or most of your Medicare Part A and Part B benefits. They may also include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. Medicare Advantage Plans are an alternative to Original Medicare.

Who needs a Medicare Advantage Plan?

There are many people who may benefit from a Medicare Advantage Plan. Some of the people who may need a Medicare Advantage Plan include:

  • People who want a more comprehensive plan than Original Medicare
  • People who want a plan with lower out-of-pocket costs
  • People who want a plan that includes prescription drug coverage
  • People who want a plan that offers additional benefits, such as dental or vision coverage
  • People who want a plan that is easy to manage

If you are considering a Medicare Advantage Plan, it is important to compare plans and choose one that fits your needs and budget. You can use the Ashford Insurance website to learn more.

Differences between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement

Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement are two distinct types of Medicare coverage. Medicare Advantage is a private health plan that provides all or most of your Medicare Part A and Part B benefits. It may also include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. Medicare Supplement, also known as Medigap, is a private insurance policy that helps pay for some of the out-of-pocket costs of Original Medicare, such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement:
