A Medicare Advantage (MA) plan is a type of health plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide you with all your Medicare Parts A and B benefits. MA plans include health maintenance organizations, preferred provider organizations, private fee-for-service plans, and Special Needs Plans.

Medicare Advantage plans cover all the same services under Original Medicare Part A and Part B, but often include prescription drug coverage and extra benefits. Some benefits may provide coverage for: Routine dental care (dental exams, X-rays, teeth cleanings) Routine vision care (eye exams, eyeglasses and contacts)

Together, UnitedHealthcare and Humana account for nearly half (47%) of all Medicare Advantage enrollees nationwide. In nearly a third of counties (32%; or 1,013 counties), these two firms account for at least 75% of Medicare Advantage enrollment.

All Medicare Advantage plans cover the same services that are covered by traditional Medicare. However, not all Medicare Advantage plans have the same cost-sharing requirements. The deductibles, premiums, and coinsurance for services vary by plan.

Plan F has the most enrollees overall. But Plan G has the second most enrollees. While these plans are the most popular, it's essential to consider your healthcare needs and not enroll in something just because everyone else has that policy.

With a Medicare Advantage Plan, you may have coverage for things Original Medicare doesn't cover, like fitness programs (gym memberships or discounts) and some vision, hearing, and dental services (like routine check ups or cleanings).
