Medicare Part C

SHARE

Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage Plan, is a private insurance plan that provides your Medicare Part A and Part B coverage. It may also cover additional services such as dental, vision, hearing, or health/wellness benefits. Some plans also include Medicare Part D prescription coverage. In short, Medicare Part C bundles all Medicare plans into one insurance product.

What Does Medicare Part C Cover?

Medicare Part C combines Medicare Part A, B, and sometimes D. It covers your:

Some Medicare Part C plans have additional coverage, including:

Take Home
Prescriptions

Routine Dental
Visits

Routine Vision
Visits

Routine Hearing
Visits

Not all Medicare C plans cover additional services; some only cover what Medicare Part A and B cover, as it varies by plan.

What is the Average Cost of Medicare Part C?

Each Medicare Part C plan has its own premium. Since Medicare pays a fixed amount to the insurance company for the plan (the amount they’d pay for your Medicare Part A and B), some people have no out-of-pocket premiums, while others do.

On average, premiums range from $0 – $300 per month. It depends on the plan’s coverage. If you would like more information about what a Medicare Part C plan may cost you, contact Senior Insurance Representatives at 1-800-327-7888.

Why do you Need Medicare Part C?

Medicare Part C is optional, but it may offer more benefits than Medicare Part A and Part B combined. If you need more than the standard federal government insurance, such as dental, vision, take-home prescriptions, or special medical equipment, a Part C plan may offer coverage that suits you needs..

If you have needs outside of what Medicare covers, consider shopping around. Just know that not all plans offer additional coverage. It’s important to understand each policy and what it offers.
