32 Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage Strategies Do not just look at premiums and deductible. Remember coverage rules. If you take expensive medications, discuss alternatives with your doctor. Maybe buy some medications off the plan. Review on an annual basis.
33 Medicare Advantage Plans Part C Offered by private insurance companies. To purchase you must be enrolled in Part A and Part B, live within the service area of the plan and do not have End-Staged Renal Disease. Types of Advantage Plans include Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), Private Fee-For- Service (PFFS), Medical Savings Account (MSA) and Special Needs Plans (SNP).

You will be responsible for some of the costs of Medicare covered services through deductibles, co-pays or coinsurance. You can not add a Supplement Plan to an Advantage Plan.
34 Medicare Advantage Plans Prescription drug coverage may be included in the Advantage Plan (same standard coverage as a stand alone Part D Plan). If the Advantage Plan does not include prescription drug coverage, you may be able to purchase a stand alone Drug Plan (Part D). Doctors and hospitals need to be in the network or accept the plan to avoid a lower (or no) reimbursement. Some Advantage Plans offer extra coverage such as preventive care, vision, hearing, dental and/or health and wellness programs.
