Medicare Advantage Health Plans Guidance
Medicare Advantage health plans can differ significantly in provider access, prescription coverage, prior-authorization requirements and total costs. A plan with a low premium or additional benefits may not be appropriate if it excludes important healthcare providers, facilities or medications.
Lowcountry Insurance Brokers compares the Medicare Advantage plans it offers using your providers, prescriptions, pharmacies, expected healthcare use, travel and coverage priorities. The goal is to help you understand available options – not to identify one plan as appropriate for everyone.
What Is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage, also called Medicare Part C, is an alternative way to receive Medicare Part A and Part B benefits. Coverage is administered by a Medicare-approved private insurance company that must follow Medicare rules. When you join a Medicare Advantage plan:
- You remain enrolled in Medicare and retain Medicare rights and protections.
- You must continue paying the Medicare Part B premium.
- The private plan administers your covered Part A and Part B services.
- You generally use the plan’s membership card when receiving services.
- The plan usually includes Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.
- Network, referral and prior-authorization requirements may apply.
- You receive an annual limit on out-of-pocket costs for covered Part A and Part B services.
