What is a Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, is a plan provided by private insurance companies with the help from subsidies provided by the government so that the insurance company can design network based plans at a various premiums.
These plans are normally designed with copays and coinsurance throughout the plans as a form of cost share that the client would assume when joining one of these plans. Most plans may offer additional benefits at no additional cost to you.
So let's take a closer look at Medicare Advantage Plans.
