Medicare Part C

Medicare coverage in one private plan.

Medicare Advantage plans provide your Part A and Part B benefits through a Medicare-approved private insurer. Many plans also include prescription coverage and may offer additional benefits.

How it works

An alternative to Original Medicare

When you join a Medicare Advantage plan, you remain in Medicare, but the private plan administers your covered Part A and Part B services. You generally use the plan’s network and follow its rules for referrals, authorizations, and covered care.

  • Includes Medicare Part A and Part B benefits
  • Usually uses a defined provider network
  • May include Part D prescription coverage
  • May include additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare

Compare carefully

The right plan depends on more than benefits

A plan can look attractive on paper but still be a poor match if your doctors are outside its network or your prescriptions are placed on costly tiers.

Doctors and hospitals

Verify each preferred provider in the current network.

Prescription formulary

Check every medication, tier, restriction, and pharmacy.

Premiums and cost sharing

Compare plan premiums, deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.

Maximum out-of-pocket

Review the annual limit for covered Part A and Part B services.

Network rules

Understand referrals, prior authorization, and out-of-network coverage.

Additional benefits

Read limits, frequency rules, approved providers, and allowances.

Enrollment timing

Medicare has specific periods for joining or changing plans

Your available choices depend on when you first become eligible, your current coverage, and whether a qualifying circumstance gives you a Special Enrollment Period.

Initial Enrollment Period

Your first opportunity to enroll in Medicare and, if eligible, choose a Medicare Advantage plan.

Annual Enrollment Period

The yearly period when eligible beneficiaries can make certain Medicare Advantage and drug plan changes.

Special or other enrollment periods

Additional opportunities may apply based on your coverage, location, eligibility, or specific life circumstances.
