Medicare Plans: MA, MAPD, and PDP Explained

Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are private health insurance plans approved by Medicare. These plans combine the coverage of Medicare Parts A and B and often include additional benefits like vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage. MA plans are a great option for those seeking a more comprehensive alternative to original Medicare.

Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (PDP) provide prescription drug coverage for those with Original Medicare. PDPs help reduce out-of-pocket costs for medications and are available to anyone with Medicare Part A or Part B. These plans are designed to help seniors manage their healthcare expenses by covering both generic and brand-name drugs.

Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap)

Medicare Supplement plans, also known as Medigap, are designed to help cover out-of-pocket costs not paid by Original Medicare. These plans provide additional coverage for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, offering more financial protection and peace of mind for those who need it.
