What is Medicare Advantage (Part C)?

Medicare Advantage is an alternative way to get your Medicare coverage through a private insurance company approved by Medicare. These plans must cover everything Original Medicare covers, and most include extra benefits like dental, vision, and prescription drugs.

How is Medicare Advantage different from Original Medicare?

Original Medicare (Parts A & B) is run by the federal government. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurers and often bundle hospital, medical, and drug coverage into one plan — sometimes with lower out-of-pocket costs and added perks.

When can I enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan?

The main enrollment window is the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), October 15 – December 7 each year. You can also enroll when you first become eligible for Medicare, or during Special Enrollment Periods triggered by qualifying life events.
