Why Choose a Medicare Advantage Plan?

There are three primary reasons you may choose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan:

  1. Low or no-cost monthly premiums,
  2. Lower out-of-pocket costs, and
  3. Additional benefits such as comprehensive dental, vision, hearing, and more.
Image showing a Medicare Advantage Plan's value

1. Low or no-cost monthly premiums

You have access to a Medicare Advantage plan as low as $0 monthly. If you don't qualify for a $0 premium plan, the average is $0.00 per month. This premium is low, especially compared to a Medicare Supplement plan or your Part B premiums.

2. Lower out-of-pocket costs

Original Medicare doesn't cap their out-of-pocket costs, so you could end up with unexpectedly high medical bills. With Original Medicare Part B, you must pay the premium, deductible, and 20% coinsurance for Medicare-approved services and procedures. The 20% can add up.

3. Additional benefits not available with Original Medicare

Want routine dental coverage? Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) don't offer comprehensive dental, vision, or hearing coverage. These services would be entirely out-of-pocket for you.

The good news? Medicare Advantage plans have low or no-cost premiums, an out-of-pocket maximum, offer additional benefits, and are regulated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). With a Medicare Advantage plan, you could receive prescription drug coverage, routine dental, vision, hearing, transportation, reduced cost-sharing, a gym membership, and more.

Special Needs Plans, or SNPs, are a type of Medicare Advantage plan. There are two types of Special Needs Plans that may be available to you: Chronic Special Needs Plans (C-SNP) and Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNP).

Chronic Special Needs Plans (C-SNP) are limited to people with specific illnesses or characteristics. For example, you may qualify for a C-SNP if you have diabetes, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), HIV/AIDS, dementia, chronic heart failure, or other qualifying illness. Medicare C-SNPs tailor benefits, provider choices, and drug formularies to meet the needs of the special needs groups they serve.

You may qualify for a Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) if you are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. With a D-SNP, the State of Alaska may cover your Medicare costs, depending on your eligibility.

Veteran Benefits & Medicare

If you or your spouse are veterans, you likely have VA benefits. However, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs encourages you to sign up for Medicare as soon as you are eligible. Here are three reasons you should speak to a local licensed agent about how VA benefits and Medicare work together:

  1. Having Medicare means you're covered when you need care from a non-VA hospital or doctor, which also offers you greater health options.
  2. VA benefits and health care could change in the future, so you should enroll in every health care benefit that you are eligible for.
  3. If you lose VA benefits and aren't enrolled in Medicare, you could face Medicare Part B and Part D lifetime late enrollment penalties.
Connie Health can help you find a plan that works with your Veteran benefits. Call 1-888-813-8911 to speak with a local licensed agent today.
