Medicare Advantage Vs. Medigap
Choosing Between Managed Care And Maximum Flexibility
Advantage plans often have lower premiums with copays and provider networks. Medigap has higher premiums but very predictable medical costs and nationwide access to providers that accept Medicare. If you split time between Columbia and coastal South Carolina, or you want the broadest provider access, we compare both paths so you can pick with confidence. Learn more about Medicare Supplement plans if you want that level of flexibility, and keep prescriptions aligned with Part D plans if you choose Medigap.
Medicare Advantage FAQs
What To Know Before You Pick A County Plan
Do Medicare Advantage plans replace Part B.
No. You keep Part A and Part B. Part C administers your benefits through a private insurer and you continue paying the Part B premium.
Can I use any doctor.
You must use in-network providers except for emergencies. We verify networks for your preferred doctors and hospitals before enrollment.
What extras can I get.
Many plans include dental, vision, hearing aids, and fitness benefits. Availability varies by county, and we check the details for your ZIP.
When can I change plans.
During Annual Enrollment in the fall, or during Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment from January through March if you are already on an Advantage plan. Special Enrollment may apply after certain events.
