Types of Massachusetts Medicare Health Plans
In Massachusetts, there are two main types of Medicare health plans: Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Supplement plans.
1. Medicare Advantage plans:
These plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare and provide all the benefits of Original Medicare (Part A and B) and may include extra benefits like prescription drug coverage, vision, and dental care. Many Medicare Advantage plans also offer additional benefits like gym memberships, transportation, or hearing aids. Medicare Advantage plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs and often have a network of providers to choose from.
2. Medicare Supplement plans:
These plans, also known as Medigap plans, are designed to supplement Original Medicare by covering out-of-pocket costs like co-insurance, co-payments, and deductibles. Medigap policies are sold by private insurance companies, but they don’t offer additional benefits like Medicare Advantage plans. Medigap plans may have a higher monthly premium but provide more flexibility when choosing healthcare providers.
Summary
Both Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans vary in their benefits, costs, networks, and availability. It is important to compare plans and choose the one that best suits your needs and budget. Additionally, some Medicare plans may offer prescription drug coverage, known as Medicare Part D, which can help cover the cost of prescription drugs.
