With its different plan alternatives, premium levels, and enrollment rules, Medicare can be confusing. According to Medicareresources.org, over 43% of Medicare recipients are enrolled in Medicare Advantage.
Advantage plans sometimes referred to as Part C, provide an alternative way to get Parts A and B. Private Medicare-approved companies offer these plans and must follow Medicare’s rules.
With their advertisements of zero-dollar premiums and claims of full coverage, including drug, dental, and vision, Medicare Advantage plans can be the right choice for some seniors, but a thorough investigation reveals that these assertions often hide what individuals will end up paying.
This report by Senior Affair explains that to offer zero-dollar premiums, Medicare Advantage uses cost-sharing and requires insured individuals to make co-payments for doctor visits, tests, or other services.
The details of Medicare Advantage plans change annually, so plan members must monitor the changes to avoid surprises about services covered.
Supplemental insurance, often referred to as Medigap, is also provided by private companies as an alternative to regular Medicare and covers individuals at any doctor who accepts Medicare patients.
With an Advantage plan, however, the network of doctors is often small. This report advises people to check their Advantage plan’s directory to determine whether their doctors participate.
Although individuals can enroll in Advantage only once a year, doctors can depart at any time. Because of that, before a person enrolls in an Advantage plan, they should confirm that their doctors will continue participating.
Individuals who live in a prime Advantage area and who do not have medical issues might do well with a Medicare Advantage plan, but they should make sure they understand all the policy’s details.
A spokesperson for Senior Affair stated, “With Medicare Advantage, most health care service costs are paid out of pocket. With original Medicare and Medigap, most of your costs are paid in advance.”
