Medicare Advantage Plans

---

Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called "Part C" or "MA Plans," 

are an “all in one” alternative to Original Medicare. They are offered by 

private companies approved by Medicare. If you join a Medicare 

Advantage Plan, you still have Medicare. These "bundled" plans 

include Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B 

(Medical Insurance), and usually Medicare drug coverage (Part D).
