Medicare Part C—commonly referred to as Medicare Advantage—is a private insurance alternative to Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage plans, instead of receiving your benefits directly from the federal government, you opt to get your Medicare coverage through a private, Medicare-approved insurance company. These Medicare Advantage plans provide nearly all medically necessary services that Original Medicare covers. Be sure to keep an eye on the Medicare enrollment dates to ensure you can take advantage of these benefits.
