Navigating Medicare parts

We’ll help you understand the differences between Medicare Parts A, B, C, D, and Medigap plans so you can find the coverage that fits your healthcare needs.

What is Medicare Advantage (Part C)?

Private insurance carriers offer Medicare Advantage plans (also called Medicare Part C), which substitute for Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) coverage. Part C plans must at least match Original Medicare’s coverage and may offer additional health and wellness benefits.

Tip: Most Medicare Advantage plans include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

What is Medicare Part D?

Private insurers offer Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. Costs and coverage details may vary by carrier.

If you don’t have drug coverage from another source, such as employer-provided insurance, sign up for a Part D plan as soon as you can. Otherwise, you may have to pay long-term late enrollment penalties.

Tip: Anyone enrolled in Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) is eligible for Part D prescription drug coverage.
