Medicare Advantage: What Seniors Need to Know

Every year during open enrollment, current Medicare enrollees have the option to:

• Switch from one Medicare Advantage plan to another or
• Switch to traditional Medicare coverage or
• Switch from traditional Medicare coverage to Medicare Advantage coverage

Know the Difference
Medicare Advantage is not the same as traditional Medicare. There are key differences that can have a real impact on how, when, and where you get the medical care you might need.

Each Medicare Advantage plan is also different. Comparing each plan’s covered benefits, limits, provider networks, restrictions, and cost-sharing requirements can be challenging, and it can be hard to know if a specific plan will meet your needs should you get injured or sick or become disabled.
