Medicare Advantage And Its Growing Popularity

10/7/2020

Picture
​The Medicare Advantage Plan is continuously growing, and it now has a large role in the Medicare program. Last year, over 31% of US Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage Plans. It grew in popularity, and now, Medical Advantage is considered by some companies to be the catalyst in the Medicare Program evolution over the past few years. But what is Medicare Advantage?
What Is Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage or “Medicare Part C” is a Medicare Plan provided by private companies. It covers both Hospital Insurance (Part A) and Medical Insurance (Part B). and usually includes other benefits. Some of the included services are prescription drug coverage, vision and dental coverage, and sometimes gym coverage. 

There are different types of Medicare Advantage Plans, and here are some common types of it:
  • Health Maintenance Organization Plans (HMO) - In this type of plan, you will get your medical services only to the plan’s network’s professionals and services.
  • Preferred Provider Organization Plans (PPO) - You pay less if you use the provided medical professionals, hospitals, and services from the plan’s network. 
  • Private Fee-for-Service Plans (PFFS) - With this plan, you may see any medical professionals and hospitals as long as they accept the plan’s payment terms. This plan decides how much you will pay for medical professionals and hospitals and its cost when you get care.
  • Special Needs Plans (SNPs) - This limits the membership only to specific diseases or characteristics. It focuses on a particular group of people to serve with their needs.

Why Is It So Popular?
More than half of the Medicare Advantage enrollees pay no premium, and it is one of the main reasons it is so popular. It also has more benefits that aren’t covered by traditional Medicare, such as dental care, fitness benefits, and eye exams that are usually needed by beneficiaries. Besides, these plans can be customized to treat some specific conditions. 

Conclusion
Efficiency, flexibility, and cost are what people usually looked for, and with that, Medicare Advantage plays its role. Still, plans are changing and evolving as time passes; that’s why to make sure to understand what the program is before joining.

Thanks for explaining that you can use provided hospitals to pay less under a PPO Medicare Advantage Plan. I want to help my aunt research her options for Medicare coverage since she'll be eligible this summer. Your article explained a lot of relevant Medicare terms in a clear way, so I appreciate you taking the time to share this info!

I liked it when you shared that Medicare Advantage can be customized to treat some specific conditions of the individuals enrolled in it. My friend just mentioned the other day that she is thinking of getting a health plan for his mother who keeps on falling sick lately due to her old age. I will suggest to her getting her mother Medicare Advantage plan from a reliable provider.

I like that this post advised us that when looking to have health insurance, it is important for us to consider hiring an agent. It makes sense as they will be able to advise us accordingly. I will definitely keep this information in mind when I look for an insurance agent.

I like that you pointed out that Medicare Advantage is more popular because its coverage is more than the traditional one. With the pandemic ongoing and other illnesses sprouting, it is important to have more coverage if ever you catch any health issues. So it would be beneficial for our finances and our health if we really invest in this kind of plan or coverage.

Thanks for pointing out that Medicare plans would be able to cover the hospital insurance and the medical as well together with other benefits. I should opt for this when I look for a coverage for myself now that I will be a senior in a decade's time. Doing so will give me the assurance that my kids will not have issues financially with the bills that I might need when I get ill.
