Which is better medicare advantage or medicare supplement?
The answer is really based on an individuals personal circumstances. Each type of coverage has various pro's and con's. The biggest difference is that a Medicare Supplement is a supplement to Original Medicare. Original Medicare rules and coverages apply and then the Medicare Supplement plan covers all or a portion of the beneficiary's responsibility and may provide additional benefits that Medicare doesnt cover. This gives you the most choice because you can go to any Medicare provider with no prior authorization in the U.S., but there is a monthly premium. A Medicare Advantage Plan which can be an HMO, PPO, PFFS or several other types of plans, offered by private companies, becomes the primary payor if you enroll in their plan. They may offer little or no monthly premium, but the beneficiary must stay within the network of contracted providers in order to get the most benefits out of plan. In addition, the plan often provides additional benefits that Original Medicare doesnt cover such as vision, dental, & gym memberships. You may save money with this plan, but you have to follow the rules of the plan and stay in-network for coverage, unless an out-of-network benefit is provided.
