Medicare Advantage Plans in Washington
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. Availability depends on your residential service area. Provider networks, premiums, copays, prescription coverage and additional benefits may differ by county and plan.

- Prescription drug coverage
- Referral and prior-authorization requirements

Medicare Supplement insurance, also called Medigap, works with Original Medicare to help pay certain out-of-pocket costs. Medigap is different from Medicare Advantage, and the two types of coverage cannot be used together.
If you are researching Medicare Supplement plans in Washington, Leah can explain standardized benefits, represented insurers, premiums, eligibility considerations and enrollment protections that may apply to your circumstances.
