Most Medicare Advantage plans combine Medicare Part A, Part B and Part D coverage into one plan. With these plans, members can take advantage of additional benefits, like hearing, fitness, and more.
Special Needs plans are Medicare Advantage plans that help meet the needs of people who have unique financial or health care needs.
A Part D plan offers prescription drug coverage, which helps pay for some Medicare-covered prescription drugs. This plan may be used along with Original Medicare and with Medicare
supplement insurance plans.
