Medicare Advantage: Comprehensive Coverage Made Simple
Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare Advantage (also known as Part C) combines hospital (Part A) and medical (Part B) coverage into a single plan offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. These plans often include additional benefits like vision, dental, hearing, and prescription drug coverage, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking comprehensive healthcare solutions. At
Burris Insurance, we specialize in helping you navigate the complexities of Medicare Advantage, ensuring you find a plan that fits your health needs and budget.
Who Should Use Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage plans offer several key benefits:
- All-in-One Coverage: Combine hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage.
- Additional Benefits: Many plans include coverage for dental, vision, hearing, and fitness programs.
- Cost Savings: Predictable out-of-pocket costs and no need for supplemental coverage.
- Convenience: One plan, one premium, one card.
How Medicare Advantage Works
When you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, you still have Medicare. These plans are required to offer at least the same coverage as Original Medicare (Parts A and B), but they often include extra benefits. Depending on the plan, you may have access to:
- Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) networks.
- Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D) integrated into your plan.
- Options for out-of-network care with higher costs.
Is Medicare Advantage Right for You?
Medicare Advantage plans are ideal for individuals who:
- Prefer a single plan that covers multiple health needs.
- Want extra benefits not included in Original Medicare.
- Are comfortable using network providers for services.

Medicare Advantage FAQs
What is the difference between Medicare Advantage and Original Medicare?
Medicare Advantage includes all the benefits of Original Medicare (Parts A and B) plus extra benefits like vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage, all managed under one plan.
How much does a Medicare Advantage plan cost?
Costs vary by plan and provider. Many plans have low or $0 premiums, but you’ll still need to pay your Part B premium. Our agents can help you compare costs and coverage.
Can I switch to a Medicare Advantage plan anytime?
You can enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) when you first become eligible for Medicare or during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) from October 15 to December 7.
Do I lose Medicare if I enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan?
No. Medicare Advantage plans are an alternative to Original Medicare, but you are still enrolled in the Medicare program.
