What are Medicare Advantage Plans?

 

Step into the vast domain of *Medicare, as we unravel the intricate details and potential advantages of Medicare Part C. This distinct part, more commonly referred to as Medicare Advantage Plans, stands out by providing beneficiaries with expanded, and in some instances, enriched healthcare coverage options.

 
A Closer Look at Medicare Part C

Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) weave together the fundamental healthcare coverages of Original Medicare (Parts A and B) while often introducing a variety of additional benefits. Structured and provided by private insurance firms approved by *Medicare, these plans can encompass:

 

   ➔ Inclusive Coverage: The same benefits and services covered by Original *Medicare.

  ➔ Extended Benefits: Potential additional coverages like dental, vision, prescriptions and or hearing care.

  ➔ Emergency Services: Often cover ed, even outside of the network. * At a cost

      

 

A Financial Overview

  ➔ Premium Costs: Often lower than Original *Medicare

Choosing a Medicare Advantage Plan necessitates a blend of understanding your healthcare requirements and judicious financial planning. While the comprehensive coverage and additional benefits can be significantly advantageous, each plan needs to be scrutinized to ensure it aligns seamlessly with your individual healthcare needs and financial situation.

My agent, Scott Krautman, was simply amazing! Although I had numerous questions regarding this new plan, he took his time to answer my questions and made everything clear to my understanding! He also went over the details of the plan and took the time to explain everything to me so that I would be aware and prepared for the future benefits that I will be receiving! I also had a follow up call from the customer service department! My conversation then was with David Eskau! He also did an amazing job throughout our conversation by providing me with further information that I needed to finalize my enrollment! Both of these representatives helped me understand tremendously the benefits that I would be receiving starting January first! Because of their experience, knowledge about the plan and benefits, as well as their ability to spend the time necessary, made me feel very comfortable with joining the United Healthcare Dual Complete Program! I definitely appreciate their commitment, time and resources provided to me and I will definitely be recommending others as I feel that they will be in great hands if the other representatives are as dedicated as Scott Krautman and David Eskau!!

I was waiting for 3 weeks and I was tired from all the other calls trying to GET MY HEALTHCARE, and when Chad called he had ALL the information that I needed, as I was thinking of new questions, right there on the spot, he STILL had the answers and that’s what I needed, this is the first time in 15 years since I’ve had my disability that I’ve been heard. I’ve apparently had since 2013 but when I checked then they said they would check and get back with me…Obama was president, you have fixed a problem since then, I’m a tri-racial man who identifies as Indigenous and this is the first time in my 54 years that I felt this country truly heard me, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THE JOB THAT THIS GOVERNMENT NEGLECTED OVER A DECADE AGO…THANK YOU SO MUCH.. YOU JUST MADE MY 55 BIRTHDAY POSSIBLE 🎂
