Greater Flexibility – Medicare Advantage Plans
Many seniors live on limited means and cannot afford expensive health insurance plans that provide comprehensive cover. Those who already receive Medicare parts A and B can benefit from changing to a Medicare Advantage plan, as these provide alternative benefit packages that are at least equal in value to the benefit packages given as standard by Medicare. Many Medicare Advantage plans include low-cost plans which provide small additions to cover the gaps in a basic Medicare scheme.
How Do Medicare Advantage Plans Work?
Medicare Advantage provides members with the freedom to choose alternative benefit packages provided by private insurance companies, and while some place an emphasis on hospital care, others provide a different focus. Medicare Advantage plans thus provide members with the freedom to structure their insurance in line with their current as well as foreseeable needs.
