Medicare Plus Choice, also known as Medicare Advantage, is a comprehensive healthcare program that offers additional benefits beyond what traditional Medicare provides. This alternative option allows beneficiaries to receive care through private health insurance plans approved by Medicare. While synonymous with Medicare Plus Choice, the term Medicare Advantage is commonly used to refer to this program. The advantage of Medicare Advantage is the flexibility it offers, allowing individuals to choose plans that suit their specific needs and preferences. Beneficiaries may find options such as Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) or Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) that provide additional benefits like prescription drug coverage and dental or vision services.
