Medicare Advantage Plans

Medicare Advantage is a type of Medicare health plan that is sold by private companies. Medicare Advantage is an alternative to original Medicare (Part A and Part B) and is referred to as Medicare Part C. Medicare Advantage plans are required by law to cover all the services available with Medicare Part A and Part B. Many Medicare Advantage plans may also offer additional benefits that are not available through original Medicare such as Vision, Dental, Hearing, Transportation, and Gym Memberships.

Most Medicare Advantage plans will include prescription drug coverage. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, then you still have Medicare but now you are covered by the plan and most of your Medicare services will be covered through the plan and not through original Medicare.

Who is Eligible to Join a Medicare Advantage Plan?

Medicare Advantage Plans are available to all Medicare beneficiaries who are entitled to Part A and enrolled in Part B of original Medicare except for beneficiaries who have ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease).

To be eligible for a Medicare Advantage plan you must reside in the service area of your plan choice.

How much does a Medicare Advantage Plan Cost?

Medicare advantage plans are Medicare plans sold by private companies so the availability of plans as well as the plan cost can vary county to county and state to state. In 2019 the average Medicare advantage plan premium was $29.00 per month. Many Medicare Advantage plans have $0 premiums through the availability of these plans may vary. Typically, Medicare Advantage plans have a network of doctors and you will be required to utilize care within that network but your cost sharing with a Medicare Advantage plan could be lower than with original Medicare.

I am the President of an Orange County sales office with 25 employees. I had the opportunity to meet with Juan Lopez and he helped my wife and I enroll onto a Medicare Supplement Plan F. The premiums for our group plan were costing us $56,000 a year. Juan was able to save us over $38,000 and my wife and I received full coverage with no co-pays or deductibles. We were able to retain a sales position with our savings.

When I first turned 65, I enrolled in Medicare Part B and started paying $50.00/Mo. Since I was still working, I thought that I had to stay on my group plan. Thankfully when I met with Maggie, she helped me compare my options and I decided to leave my group plan and enroll with a Medicare supplement plan. It was very fortunate timing because I received unexpectedly higher medical claims the next year and I was able to save over $10,000 on my Supplement plan with no deductible and lower co-insurance. The biggest bonus was that my firm was able to keep me on payroll for another 4 years since I was able to save them so much money

I was enrolled on a small group plan with about 30 of my fellow co-workers. It was a small group Gold level plan and it cost my employer around $950 a month. My costs were increasing every year due to my age. I met with Josie and she suggested that I enroll in Part B and enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. My employer continued to pay for my coverage but Josie was able to save them nearly $800.00/Mo. My Medicare Advantage plan had Zero deductible, $0 co-pays to see my doctor, $0 for my hospital coverage, and much lower maximum out of pocket. My employer was able to save money and this went directly back to providing additional benefits for all of us.
