Why Medicare Advantage Plans are Popular with Many Beneficiaries

Medicare Advantage plans are becoming increasingly popular among beneficiaries for several compelling reasons. Here’s why more and more individuals like you are opting for Medicare Advantage.

All-in-One Coverage. Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, bundle together your hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage into one coordinated plan. This simplifies your healthcare coverage and eliminates the need to manage multiple plans.

Predictable Costs. Medicare Advantage plans typically have out-of-pocket maximums, providing you with financial protection against high medical expenses. With Original Medicare, there’s no cap on your out-of-pocket costs, leaving you vulnerable to unexpected healthcare expenses.

Network of Providers. Medicare Advantage plans often have provider networks, which means you’ll need to receive care from a network of doctors and hospitals. While this may seem limiting, it can also result in lower out-of-pocket costs and coordinated care. Many Medicare Advantage plans also offer out-of-network coverage for emergencies and urgent care situations.

Managed Care Approach. Medicare Advantage plans often employ a managed care model, where insurers work closely with healthcare providers to coordinate your care and manage costs. This can lead to improved quality of care and better health outcomes for you as a member.

Cost Savings. In some cases, Medicare Advantage plans can be more affordable than Original Medicare, especially if you’re healthy and don’t require frequent medical care. The cost for Medicare Advantage plans may be lower than the combined cost for Part A, Part B, and Part D coverage under Original Medicare.

Flexibility in Plan Options. Medicare Advantage plans come in various types, including Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), and Special Needs Plans (SNPs). This variety allows you to choose a plan that aligns with your specific healthcare needs and preferences.

Annual Enrollment Period. Medicare Advantage plans offer an annual enrollment period each year, typically from October 15th to December 7th. During this time, you have the opportunity to review and change your Medicare coverage to better suit your needs for the upcoming year.

With their bundle coverage, predictable costs, and focus on managed care, Medicare Advantage plans are gaining traction as a preferred choice for Medicare beneficiaries. Consider exploring your options during the next annual enrollment period to see if a Medicare Advantage plan is the right fit for your needs.

I was born in Oklahoma and raised in Neosho, MO. My husband (Derek) and I have 6 children and 6 sweet grandchildren who we adore. It wasn’t until 2009 when I moved back to Oklahoma that I started my insurance career and developed a passion for educating seniors on their rights and options regarding Medicare. Over the last decade I’ve been helping this under served population by empowering them to make the best insurance decisions for their individual healthcare needs.

In 2019 I resigned my position as Sales Manager for one of the nation’s largest Medicare insurance carriers to join the amazing team at OKMedicareHelp. I provided support, training and mentorship to hundreds of independent insurance agents around the state of Oklahoma and gave them the tools they needed to make the right impact for Medicare beneficiaries. The experience I gained in my previous role gave me a unique look at how to help navigate the complexities of Medicare for both Medicare beneficiaries and agents alike.

I pride myself on operating with the highest integrity and having a heart to serve our local senior community. I would be honored to help you navigate the complexities of Medicare and be of service for all your insurance needs.
