What does Medicare Advantage combine?

Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, primarily combine Medicare Parts A and B into a single insurance plan. Medicare Part A covers hospital insurance, while Part B covers outpatient and medical insurance. By enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan, beneficiaries receive the benefits of both Parts A and B under one package, often with additional services and benefits not covered by conventional Medicare, such as vision, dental, or wellness programs.

The choice regarding combining Medicaid and Supplemental Insurance is incorrect as it refers to a different type of coverage scenario that does not signify Medicare Advantage. Similarly, although Medicare Parts A and C hints at the combination of hospital and other services, it’s actual designation for the comprehensive Medicare Advantage plan is Part C itself, which encompasses both A and B. Finally, Medicare paired with private insurance lacks the specificity that defines the Medicare Advantage structure, which is specifically about the integration of Medicare Parts A and B.
