What Is a Medicare Health Plan?

A Medicare health plan is coverage provided by private insurance companies contracted by Medicare to offer benefits under Medicare Parts A and B. Common examples include Medicare Advantage (Part C), Medicare Cost Plans, and Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).

Why Medicare health plans matter

• Comprehensive benefits: Many Medicare health plans offer additional coverage not included in Original Medicare, such as dental, vision, and prescription drug benefits.
• Network-based coverage: Medicare health plans often use provider networks, which can help manage costs but may limit your choice of providers.
• Cost predictability: Plans may feature predictable copayments, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums, helping you budget healthcare costs more easily.
