Frequently asked questions

Medicare Advantage plans are all-inclusive, meaning plans include coverage for:

  • hospital care
  • medical services (such as your doctor visits)
  • prescription drugs (in most cases)

Unlike other types of plans, you get everything you need in one convenient plan, so all your care is coordinated. There’s no juggling multiple plans and multiple companies.

For example, if you have Original Medicare, plus a Medicare Supplement (MediGap) plan, you’ll also need a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan. Now you are juggling three different plans from three different companies, and nothing is coordinated. It can get very complicated and confusing. It will likely also be more expensive.

Different Medicare Advantage plans offer different benefits, costs, and coverage. In New York City and surrounding counties, you have a choice.

The types of Medicare Advantage plans available in New York include:

  1. Medicare Advantage HMO plans: all-inclusive Part C plans that include all the coverage of Medicare Part A, Part B, and usually Part D.
    1. Medicare Part A covers hospital stays, skilled nursing facility (SNF) care, some home care and hospice care.
    2. Medicare Part B covers doctor visits, outpatient care, X-rays, lab tests, counseling, and preventive services such as cancer and diabetes screenings, annual wellness visits, and vaccines.
    3. Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) covers generic and brand-name prescription drugs, vaccines not covered by Part B, insulin, and more. Be sure to check your plan’s formulary to see exactly what’s covered and for how much.
  2. Since all this coverage is conveniently included in one plan, you don’t have to worry about adding on any other type of plan.

    Medicare Advantage HMO plans have a network of doctors, specialists, and hospitals that members can use.

  3. Medicare Advantage HMO D-SNP plans: Dual-eligible Special Needs Plans are Part C plans that include all the coverage of Medicare Part A, Part B, and Part D, plus full or partial Medicaid coverage (depending on your eligibility).
    These plans offers more benefits and lower copays than other Medicare Advantage plans.
  4. Medicare Advantage PPO plans: Part C plans that include all the coverage of Part A, Part B, and Part D.

They are Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans that give you the flexibility to go out of network and visit any doctor or hospital in the U.S. that accepts Medicare for medical care.

Please note, seeing out-of-network providers usually costs more than staying in-network.
