Medicare Part C
Medicare Part C or Medicare Advantage Plans are insurance plans offered by private companies approved by Medicare
Important things to know about Medicare Part C
-
You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium. Medicare then gives your premium to your Insurance plan to help pay for your additional coverage.
-
Use of network health care and pharmacy providers is typically required. Using providers outside of the network may cost you more. In an emergency, you can use any provider.
-
A Medicare supplement insurance (Medigap policy) plan is not a Medicare Advantage plan.
-
Joining a Medicare Advantage plan may affect your current coverage
-
Members of a Medicare Advantage plan must present their member ID card, not their Original Medicare card, when receiving services. Combines Part A, B, and D into one plan with one card.
-
Even though Medicare Advantage plans are privately administered, you still have the same rights and protections as with Original Medicare.
-
Medicare Advantage plans must cover all the services that Original Medicare covers and may offer additional benefits. Important: Hospice care is still covered under Original Medicare.
-
Your plan's annual out-of-pocket maximum is your safety net that ensures you'll never pay more than a certain amount out of pocket in a given plan year for covered medical services.
When deciding on which Medicare Advantage plan to choose, you should consider speaking with a licensed agent to answer the following questions:
1. Are my doctors covered as In-Network providers?
2. Can I see a doctor outside of the network?
3. How much are co-pays and deductibles associated with my plan? How much are Part D prescription drug costs?
4. What additional benefits are offered by this plan?
