Demystifying Medicare Advantage Plans
Over the last decade, Medicare Advantage (MA) has emerged as a prominent alternative to traditional Medicare. With more than 28 million beneficiaries currently enrolled in MA plans, it’s essential to understand the options available for 2023 and the key trends shaping this landscape1.
What Are Medicare Advantage Plans?
Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Part C, are private health insurance plans that provide an alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B). These plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. Here are some key points:
- Coverage: MA plans typically include hospital (Part A), medical (Part B), and often prescription drug (Part D) coverage.
- Variety: Beneficiaries can choose from a wide range of plans, including Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), and more.
- Additional Benefits: Many MA plans offer extra benefits such as dental, vision, and fitness programs.
