Medicare Advantage vs. Original Medicare: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage can feel overwhelming, but understanding the basics can help you decide.

• Original Medicare (Parts A and B): Offers hospital and medical insurance. You can add Part D for prescriptions and Medigap for additional coverage, but costs can vary based on care frequency and location.

• Medicare Advantage (Part C): This plan, offered by private companies, combines Parts A and B and often includes Part D. Many plans also offer extras like vision, dental, and wellness programs.

• What’s Right for You? If you need flexibility in choosing doctors or frequently travel, Original Medicare might be better. For more predictable costs and extra benefits, Medicare Advantage is a good option.
