What is a Medicare Advantage plan?
Medicare Advantage plans provide an alternative to Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). Medicare Advantage is also known as Medicare Part C. Offered by private health insurance companies that are approved by Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans are legally required to offer at least the same benefits as Original Medicare, but may include additional routine coverage.
Compare Medicare Advantage Plans
When you sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll want to consider the different plan types. Medicare Advantage plan companies provide six different types of plans:
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
- Health Maintenance Organization Point of Service (HMOPOS)
4. Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS)5. Medical Savings Account (MSA)6. Special Needs plan (SNP)
Note that not all of these plans are available in all areas. You’ll also need your own primary care doctor when you have one of the following plans:
- Special Needs plan (SNP)
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
- Health Maintenance Organization Point of Service (HMOPOS) plan
HMOs and SNPs are the only plans that require a referral to see a specialist. HMO plans are also the only plans that require you to receive care from an in-network doctor.
Benefits of a Medicare Advantage plan:
- Offers the same coverage as Original Medicare
- Additional routine benefits may be included

What to Consider Before Enrolling in a Medicare Advantage Plan
As you prepare to apply for a Medicare Advantage plan, it is important to remember:
- You cannot purchase a stand-alone Medicare Part D plan if you have a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Medicare Advantage plan.
- Special Needs plans (SNP) are required to cover prescriptions. Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) plans sometimes cover prescriptions, but if you have one that doesn’t, you can supplement it with a Medicare Part D plan.
- The services and fees for Medicare Advantage plans can vary widely, but we can help you better understand the plans available in your area. Learn more by downloading our Free Medicare Advantage Guide.
Medicare Advantage Plan Enrollment
The best time to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan is during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), which takes place every year from October 15 to December 7. This is the one time each year that all Medicare beneficiaries can review their current coverage and make changes. Medicare plan benefits and prescription drug coverage change every year, making it imperative to review your coverage on an annual basis.Individuals with Medicare Advantage plans can also make a one-time plan change during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (OEP) which takes place from January 1 to March 31 every year.
Cost of Medicare Advantage Plans
If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, you will continue to pay for your Medicare Part B premium as well as the cost of the Medicare Advantage plan. Since Medicare Advantage plans are typically managed care and have networks of health care providers—such as a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)—care will be more affordable if you stay within your network. Otherwise, your plan may not cover your medical expenses, or your costs may not apply to your out-of-pocket maximum.
