Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, are a type of health insurance plan that combines the benefits of Original Medicare (Parts A and B) with additional coverage options, such as dental, vision, and hearing. These plans are offered by private insurance companies, like Priority Health, and are designed to provide more comprehensive coverage and flexibility than Original Medicare. With a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll have access to a network of healthcare providers, as well as additional benefits like wellness programs and disease management services. For example, Priority Health’s Medicare Advantage plans offer a range of benefits, including routine dental care, vision exams, and hearing aids, to help you maintain your overall health and well-being.
