Do All Medicare Advantage Providers Offer the Same Benefits?
It only takes about 10 seconds of looking around online to realize that there are many insurance providers offering Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare part C). Unfortunately, this makes it much harder to figure out which plan is a good fit for you. Unless you’re a health insurance professional, it may look like all of these plans are essentially the same, so why bother researching more?
Each provider that offers a Medicare Advantage plan must operate within the same set of guidelines in order to partner with Medicare, but may offer fairly different benefits. Some plans may include vision and dental coverage, but not hearing coverage. Others may or may not include prescription drug coverage. Depending on the benefits in a given plan, the out-of-pocket costs for the policy-holder can vary significantly.
Medicare Advantage plans may be a great solution for you or someone you love, but it is crucial to understand the specifics of the policy you choose and what it does or does not cover.
