Golden Age FinancialMedicare Advantage
An all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. Offered by private insurers, Medicare Advantage (Part C) bundles your hospital, medical, and often prescription coverage into a single plan, usually with extra benefits built in.
What is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, is offered by private insurance companies with the help of government subsidies, allowing insurers to design network-based plans at a range of premiums.
These plans typically use copays and coinsurance as a form of cost-sharing you take on when you join. Many plans also offer additional benefits at no extra cost. Let’s take a closer look.
