Medicare Advantage plans, also sometimes called Medicare Part C or Medicare "All-In-One" plans, are offered by Medicare-approved private companies who follow Medicare rules when providing coverage. Most Medicare Advantage Plans combine outpatient and inpatient health coverage with prescription drug coverage. A Medicare Advantage plan insurer receives a fixed payment from Medicare for each enrollee. The insurer, rather than Medicare, pays the enrollee's health care costs using these funds. It's important to note that monthly Medicare Part B premiums must always be paid in order to participate in a Medicare Advantage plan.
Medicare Supplement Insurance, also commonly known as Medigap, is health coverage that helps a person enrolled in Original Medicare with the out-of-pocket costs not covered by Original Medicare; for example, the 20 percent co-insurance needed to see a doctor as an outpatient, or per-day expenses when admitted to a hospital.
Current enrollment in Original Medicare Part A, known as Hospital Insurance, and Part B, known as Medical Insurance is generally required.
Again, monthly Part B premiums must be paid current in order to receive the additional coverage provided by a Medicare Supplement plan.
Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage is also known as Medicare Part D. Offered through private insurance companies, Part D plans help Medicare enrollees pay for oral and other self-administered prescription drugs, as well as some vaccines.
