Medicare Advantage · Part C

All your Medicare in one simple plan

Hospital, medical, drugs and extras like dental and vision, bundled together, often for a $0 monthly premium. Here's how Medicare Advantage works, and how to tell if it fits you.

In one sentence

A Medicare Advantage plan replaces Original Medicare with a single private plan that bundles your coverage, caps your yearly costs, and usually throws in extras, in exchange for using the plan's network of doctors.

What's included

Often more than Original Medicare, for less

Medical & hospital

Everything Parts A & B cover, all in one plan.

Prescription drugs

Most plans include Part D drug coverage built in.

Dental, vision, hearing

Common extras Original Medicare doesn't cover.

Wellness perks

Fitness memberships, OTC allowances and more.

From "I'm overwhelmed" to "I'm covered"

Common questions

Medicare Advantage FAQs

A few of the things people ask us most.

See all FAQs
What is a Medicare Advantage plan?

It's a private, all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare (also called Part C). It bundles Parts A and B and usually D, and often adds dental, vision and hearing, frequently for a $0 monthly premium.

Does it cost more than Original Medicare?

Many plans have a $0 premium (you still pay your Part B premium). You pay copays as you use care, and every plan caps your yearly out-of-pocket costs, something Original Medicare alone doesn't do.

Can I keep my doctor?

Advantage plans use networks, so it depends on the plan. Before you enroll, we verify your doctors and pharmacies are in-network.
