Medicare Advantage Plans are another way to get your Medicare Part A and Part B coverage. Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called “Part C” or “MA Plans,” are offered by Medicare-approved private companies that must follow rules set by Medicare.

All Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plans (MAPDs) include drug coverage (Part D). In most cases, you’ll need to use healthcare providers who participate in the plan’s network.

These plans set a limit on what you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket each year for covered services. Some plans offer non-emergency coverage out of network, but typically at a higher cost.

Remember, if you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, you must use your Medicare Advantage Plan card to get your Medicare-covered services.

Keep your red, white, and blue Original Medicare card in a safe place because you’ll need it if you ever switch back to your Original Medicare.
