Is Medicare Advantage right for you?
5 Reasons to consider Medicare Advantage
1) Less spent on health care compared to original Medicare and supplement plans
Many Advantage Plans, if not most, offer low (or no) deductibles and no premiums. Most Medicare Advantage plans also set an out-of-pocket limit each year. As if that wasn't enough, a study was published in the Journal of American Medical Association that found that those who were on Medicare Advantage plans spent significantly less on lab services and medical equipment.
2) Advantage Plans include non-Medicare benefits like vision, hearing, and dental
Straight Medicare includes part A (hospital insurance) and part B (medical insurance). Medicare Advantage plans are called part C, which usually includes benefits that straight Medicare does not cover. This can include benefits like dental, vision, hearing, transportation, gym privileges, chiropractic care, and more!
3) Advantage Plans include medication coverage
In addition to Medicare part A and B, there is also Medicare part D, for drug coverage. Part D is almost always covered under a Medicare Advantage plan, so you will have all of your medicines covered and have no need to purchase a Part D plan!
4) Coordinated care between primary care provider, specialists, and hospitals
Medicare Advantage makes taking care of your health easy! When you have a Medicare Advantage plan in Ventura county, you can be assigned to us as your primary care provider. We work very closely with any specialists that you see through Seaview to make sure that everyone is on the same page for your health needs.
5) All PMG doctors accept Medicare Advantage Plans
Many of our most popular doctors have closed patient panels due to high demand. However, if you have a Medicare Advantage plan, all doctors are ready and available to take care of your needs!
