Medicare Advantage Plan

Guide To Selecting A Medicare Advantage Plan is a health care option that wraps together Part A and Part B coverage into one comprehensive package. In addition, some plans may include prescription drug coverage. Each plan is different and offers its own advantages and costs. Comparing plan coverage and costs can help individuals find the best Medicare Advantage plan for their unique healthcare needs. This process should take into account factors such as preferred doctors and hospitals, medication management, premiums, deductibles, copayments and annual out-of-pocket limits.

While all Medicare Advantage Plans must offer, at minimum, the same benefits as Traditional Medicare (those covered under Parts A and B), some Plans may provide additional services such as vision, hearing, and dental, as well as telehealth options. Some plans may also have a lower premium than Original Medicare Part B. However, the amount you pay depends on your county of residence and whether the plan is located in an area with high or low average Medicare Advantage plan spending.

In addition, some Plans may require you to get a referral from your Primary Care Physician before you see certain specialists, while other Plans don’t have this requirement. Choosing a Medicare Advantage Plan that works with your doctor and medical facility schedule can help ensure continuity of care and make the process smoother.

A plan’s network coverage, accessibility and reputation are important to consider when making a decision. Evaluating a plan’s networks can help you identify the best plan for your healthcare needs, while considering the location of your preferred providers, how often you visit them and how close or far they are from your home or office.

Medicare collects data from its members, the plans themselves and the health care providers who are in their networks to rate each plan based on quality and service. These ratings are reflected in the star rating that appears on each plan’s summary page. The more stars a plan has, the higher the quality and service it is considered to provide.

During the annual open enrollment period for Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare (Oct. 15 through Dec. 7), individuals can switch to a new Medicare Advantage plan or switch from a Medicare Advantage Plan to a Medigap Plan. However, an individual must be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to change their plan. An SEP can be triggered by an individual’s current MA plan notifying them that they are ending their contract with CMS; an individual’s former MA plan violating a provision of its contract; or an individual moving to a new geographic area.

Taking the time to compare plans can help individuals find the right Medicare Advantage plan for their unique health needs, budget and lifestyle. In addition, evaluating a plan’s coverage and cost each year can be helpful, as Medicare Advantage plans can change their premiums, deductibles and copayments on an annual basis. Individuals should evaluate all available plans in their area to ensure that they have the best overall health care coverage and savings.
