Medicare Advantage is simple - instead of getting regular Medicare (Part A,B and D) through the government (though Part D is always private), you elect for your Medicare dollars to be used as premiums for a private Medicare Advantage Plan that offers similar coverage.
Thats it.
It’s nice because it offers options. For some people with chronic conditions a MA plan might offer better coverage than regular Medicare for your treatment in exchange for less coverage in another area.
And it’s entirely the patient’s choice.
Don't like Medicare Advantage? Good, don't choose it.
