Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage)

メディケアパートC（メディケアアドバンテージ） (medikea pāto C (medikea adobantēji))

Medicare Part C, or Medicare Advantage, is an alternative to Original Medicare offered by private insurers approved by Medicare. Plans must cover all Part A and B services and often include Part D prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, and hearing benefits. Medicare Advantage plans typically operate as HMOs or PPOs with network restrictions. Monthly premiums may be low or zero, but out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. Enrollment requires simultaneous Part A and B.

Medicare Advantage enrollment has grown significantly; beneficiaries should compare plans annually during the open enrollment period.
