Hello, Shawano & Northeastern Wisconsin residents!
If you’re approaching the age of 65 or are already eligible for Medicare, you might be exploring your options for healthcare coverage. One popular choice is Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Part C. At Meyer Insurance Agency, we’re here to help you understand these plans and find the one that best suits your needs.
**What Are Medicare Advantage Plans?**
Medicare Advantage Plans are an alternative to Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). Offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare, these plans provide all your Part A and Part B benefits. Many Medicare Advantage Plans also offer additional benefits, such as vision, dental, and hearing coverage, and most include Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D).
**Why Consider a Medicare Advantage Plan?**
1. **Comprehensive Coverage**: Medicare Advantage Plans often bundle services, providing a one-stop-shop for your healthcare needs. This can include everything from hospital and medical insurance to prescription drugs and additional benefits like fitness programs.
2. **Cost-Effective**: Many plans have low or even $0 monthly premiums, though you must continue to pay your Part B premium. They also often have an out-of-pocket maximum, which can protect you from high medical costs.
3. **Convenience**: With a Medicare Advantage Plan, you typically have one card for all your healthcare services, simplifying the process of managing your healthcare.
