About Original Medicare
Original Medicare includes Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical). You can add a separate Medicare drug plan (Part D). You can see any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare. To help with out-of-pocket costs, you may buy Medigap, keep employer/union coverage, or qualify for Medicaid.
About Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage (Part C) is a Medicare-approved plan from a private company that offers an alternative to Original Medicare. Plans include Part A and Part B, and most include Part D. Many offer extra benefits like vision, hearing, and dental, and may cap annual out-of-pocket costs.
