Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C) are a form of private health insurance that provides the same coverage as Medicare Part A and Part B (Original Medicare) and may include additional benefits such as dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.
All of the available plan options are designed to help cover some of the expenses not paid by original Medicare and help limit your annual spending for medical care and prescription drugs. Original Medicare alone has substantial deductibles and copayments, and you can easily spend thousands of dollars each year for out-of-pocket medical expenses.
If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, you may have to pay some or all of the following expenses:
Original Medicare premiums
Medicare Advantage plan premiums
Out-of-pocket costs such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles
Some Medicare Advantage plans feature $0 premiums, though $0 premium plans aren’t available in all locations.
In 2021, 54 percent of all Medicare Advantage plans that include prescription drug coverage feature a $0 premium, and 96 percent of Medicare Advantage beneficiaries who have a plan that includes drug coverage are enrolled in a $0 premium plan.1
