How Medicare Advantage Works

What Is Medicare Advantage (Part C)?

Medicare Advantage is an alternative to Original Medicare offered by private insurance companies approved by CMS. It replaces Medicare Parts A and B and often includes Part D drug coverage in a single bundled plan.

💵
$0 or Low Monthly Premium
Many Advantage plans have $0 monthly premium. You still pay your Part B premium, but the Advantage plan itself may cost nothing or even pay back part of your Part B premium.
🦷
Extra Benefits
Most Advantage plans include benefits Original Medicare does not cover: dental, vision, hearing aids, fitness memberships, over-the-counter allowances, and transportation.
💊
Drug Coverage Included
Most Advantage plans include Medicare Part D drug coverage. Brian compares formularies against your actual prescriptions before you enroll.
📋
Network & Prior Auth
Advantage plans use networks and may require prior authorizations. Verifying your doctors are in-network before enrolling is essential.
💰
Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum
Advantage plans have an annual out-of-pocket maximum. Unlike Original Medicare, Advantage limits your worst-case year.
🔄
Annual Enrollment Period
October 15 through December 7 each year. Brian reviews every client's plan annually because formularies, networks, and premiums change.
Money Back in Your Pocket

Part B Giveback — Get Up to $202.90/Month Back

Some Medicare Advantage plans in Utah and Colorado offer a Part B premium reduction, also called a giveback.

How the Giveback Works

The plan pays a portion of your Part B premium directly to CMS on your behalf. Your Social Security check goes up, or your Medicare bill goes down, by the giveback amount.

Who Qualifies?

Giveback plans are available in specific ZIP codes. Brian checks whether any giveback plans are available where you live and whether the giveback is worth the tradeoffs.
