Medicare Benefit Tactics

Medicare Advantage plans can be distinguished from Medicare supplement coverage by having many differences. I recommend to my clients that Medicare Advantage plans be considered alternatives to Original Medicare coverage. Original Medicare includes Parts A, B and Medicare Advantage plans are sometimes called Part C or MA plans. Original Medicare is not covered by Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Advantage plans must provide all the services Original Medicare provides.

Original Medicare has providers billing Medicare at first, and then a supplement firm. After Medicare and the private supplement companies have paid their respective portions, the individuals could be responsible to pay the remainder. Medicare Advantage plans have the private insurance company being billed. If an individual has a Part C plan (MA) with company XYZ, and visits his primary physician or receives services at a hospital for treatment, the bill will go to company XYZ, not Medicare. This could mean that the individual will be responsible for either a copay, or a maximum amount.

Medicare Advantage plans sometimes are called “all – in-one” plans. They include coverages that go beyond just medical. Part C plans may include prescription drug coverage. These plans are also known as MAPD (Medicare Benefit Prescription Drug) plans. Some plans include coverage for eye, hearing and dental care. Medicare Advantage plans are very diverse and should be reviewed individually.

Medicare Advantage plans come with a premium. These premiums may vary. There are some plans that charge $0 per month. However, Medicare Advantage plan enrollees must pay the Part-B premium. Access to a plan varies by county. For example, a $0 monthly Premium Plan may be offered in one county, but not in another.
