Richland Hills Medicare Advantage

Here are some tips and tools to help you pick a Medicare Advantage plan that fits your needs:

1. Understand the difference between Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare.

• Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies and are an alternative to Original Medicare.
• Medicare Advantage plans typically offer more comprehensive coverage than Original Medicare, but they may have more restrictions on where you can get care and what services are covered.
• Original Medicare is government-run and doesn’t have as many restrictions on where you can get care or what services are covered, but it may not cover as much as a Medicare Advantage plan.

2. Consider your needs and preferences.

• When choosing a Medicare Advantage plan, it’s important to consider your needs and preferences.
• Some things to think about include:
  • Your health
  • Your budget
  • The types of services you need
  • The doctors and hospitals you want to use
• You can use the Medicare Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare Medicare Advantage plans in your area.

3. Read the plan’s terms and conditions carefully.

• Before you choose a Medicare Advantage plan, be sure to read the plan’s terms and conditions carefully.
