Medicare Advantage (Part C) is a type of Medicare health plan offered by private insurance companies that contract with Medicare. These plans provide all of the Part A and Part B benefits of Original Medicare, and many offer additional benefits, such as dental, vision, and hearing coverage. Medicare Advantage plans also have different rules about how you can use your coverage, such as where you can see doctors and what kind of care you need to get a referral.
