Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, offer beneficiaries the same coverage individuals would get under Original Medicare Parts A and B. In addition to this, many Medicare Advantage plans also offer additional benefits that you wouldn't get under Original Medicare. This is one of its greatest advantages for many consumers, since extra coverage for certain medical services could help reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

With a Medicare Advantage plan, seniors can pick the health insurance company and plan they want.

This means that you can assess your medical needs before joining any specific plan, and choose one that is most suited to your needs. This offers you more control over the type of coverage you want, especially when compared with Original Medicare (Parts A and B), which generally covers all of its beneficiaries in the same way.

Since you get to choose which plan you join, you have the capacity to investigate your options thoroughly and choose a plan that will not only be affordable and convenient, but one that will provide you with the greatest savings possible.

Many Medicare Advantage plans also have the added benefit of eliminating the need to purchase a Medigap (Medicare Supplement) or prescription drug policy. In fact, Medicare prohibits you from obtaining a Medigap policy with most Medicare Advantage plans. This restriction is put in place because many Medicare Advantage plans provide additional coverage.
