Medicare Advantage/ Part C
If you choose a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) you will get all your healthcare coverage through this plan. This plan will include everything Original Medicare covers and some extra benefits such as prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, hearing & some over-the-counter benefits.
These are not standardized plans and insurance companies have different benefits to help people depending on their healthcare needs and concerns.
These plans do change every fall in September, so you can change or update your plan every year during the Annual Enrollment Period, from October 15 – December 7. It is important to review your plans to make sure that you are still in the best plan, and your doctors and drugs are still in-network at the best cost for you.
These are typically low cost or no cost plans, ranging from $40 or $0/month.
You will have 1 card for the hospital, the doctor, pharmacy, dentist, optometrist and audiologist.
