What is Medicare Part C
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C)
Medicare Advantage Plans are health plan options (like HMOs and PPOs) approved by Medicare and run by private companies. These plans are part of the Medicare Program and are sometimes called "Part C" or "MA plans." Medicare pays an amount for your care every month to these private health plans. Medicare Advantage Plans must follow rules set by Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans aren’t supplemental insurance.
Challenges with Medicare Advantage plans include a doctor may elect out of the program at any time. This is not the case with Medicare Supplement. Read pages 38 - 49 of attached publication
