Medicare Part C

Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, is an all-in-one health plan offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. It combines coverage from Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) and often includes additional benefits such as vision, dental, hearing, and prescription drug coverage. Enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan usually requires selecting a specific plan each year, and you may pay a monthly premium beyond standard Medicare costs. These plans often have networks of doctors and hospitals, so it's important to check if your providers are included. Medicare Advantage plans can provide more comprehensive care with simplified coverage options.
