Frequently asked questions about Medicare

-Medicare Part B covers outpatient services including medical procedures and equipment
-Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs
-Supplemental coverage, which is optional, covers additional items like co-pays
What is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage plans are administered by private insurers on behalf of the government. Medicare Advantage:
-Is also known as Medicare Part C
-Combines all the services offered through traditional Parts A and B
-Often includes Part D prescription drug coverage
Why are more people choosing Medicare Advantage?
More and more consumers are choosing Medicare Advantage over traditional Medicare because these plans:
-Are more convenient, combining Medicare Parts A, B, and D into one package with a single insurance card
-Are more affordable than the combined cost of traditional Medicare and supplemental coverage
-Usually offer additional coverage not provided through traditional Medicare like routine dental and hearing care.
