Medicare, bundled and simplified.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) rolls your hospital, medical, and usually drug coverage into one plan — often adding dental, vision, and hearing benefits Original Medicare doesn't include.
What’s typically included
Parts A & B
Everything Original Medicare covers — hospital and medical — in one plan.
Part D drugs
Prescription drug coverage usually built right into the plan.
Dental & vision
Cleanings, exams, and eyewear allowances many plans include.
Hearing
Hearing exams and aid allowances on many Advantage plans.
Out-of-pocket max
A yearly cap on what you pay — something Original Medicare lacks.
Extra benefits
Fitness programs and telehealth are common add-ons, plan depending.
Who it’s for
Medicare Advantage is for people who are eligible for Medicare — generally age 65 or older, or younger with qualifying conditions — and want more of their coverage in one place, often at a low or $0 monthly plan premium.
Because plans and networks vary a lot by county, this is where a local advisor earns their keep.
