Original Medicare (Parts A & B) and Medicare Advantage (Part C) are two different ways to get Medicare benefits. Both options provide the same basic level of hospital and medical insurance but there are also important differences between them.
Whether you choose to go with Original Medicare or with a Medicare Advantage plan, you will likely pay premiums, deductibles, copays and coinsurance.
A final key difference to consider when choosing between Original Medicare and a Medicare Advantage plan is which health care providers you can see.
With Original Medicare you can go to any hospital and see any doctor or provider within the U.S. who accept Medicare. You do have limited coverage in foreign countries, though.
1. Consider if you want coverage for dental, vision and other extra benefits
2. Think about what your total costs could be
3. Consider how often you leave home
As a final note, no matter which option you decide is right for you, you can switch from Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage or vice versa. The two main times you can switch are the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period and the Medicare Special Enrollment Period for qualifying life events, if you qualify.
Before joining a Medicare Advantage plan, talk to your employer, union, or other benefits administrator about their rules before you join a Medicare Advantage Plan.
