Medicare Advantage plans are private health plans (Benefits vary from plan to plan) that have a yearly contract with Medicare. They are NOT Medicare Supplements.

These plans encompass Medicare Parts A & B and sometimes D (RX). These plans pay INSTEAD of Medicare. They are offered in different forms such as HMO, where you are limited to in network doctors and hospitals only, PPO, where you can go in or out of network if the doctor agrees to accept the plan (for a higher cost), or PFFS (Private Fee for Service), where you can see any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, as long as they agree to accept the plan. Acceptance can be on a case-by-case basis. If the provider does not accept your Advantage Plan, you will have to pay the full cost. Medicare will not pay anything.

Benefits vary from plan to plan.
