What is Medicare Advantage?
Answer:
Medicare Advantage provides an alternative to the traditional Medicare Part A or B. Advantage plans are provided through private insurance companies who have contracted with Medicare to provide the same benefits that one would have with Original Medicare, but allows for additional coverage for things like chronic conditions, nursing homes and long-term care, dental, and vision. In order to be eligible for Medicare Advantage, you must already be enrolled in Medicare A or B and live in the appropriate service area.
