Plan Types
Medicare
advantage
plans
Medicare Part C, commonly known as Medicare Advantage, is coverage offered by private insurance companies that have a contract with the federal government.
Medicare Advantage combines your Part A hospital, Part B medical and often Part D prescription drug coverage into one plan.
Prescription
Drug
Plans
Offered by private insurance companies, Medicare Part D coverage helps you pay for your prescription drugs.
There are two basic ways to get Part D prescription drug coverage:
- Purchase a Part-D plan
- Join a Medicare Advantage Part-C plan
Medicare
Supplement
Plans
To help fill coverage gaps, many private insurance companies offer Medicare Supplement, or “Medigap”, insurance policies that help pay for your health care costs.
Medicare continues to pay its share of the approved amount for covered services. Your Medigap policy then pays its share.
