Medicare Advantage Plans

Medicare Advantage Plans — also known as Medicare Part C — are an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. These plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare and are designed to provide the same benefits as Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance), with additional features that can enhance your healthcare experience.

At Guardian Health Network, we help you navigate the many Medicare Advantage options available so you can choose a plan that fits your health needs, budget, and lifestyle.

What Does a Medicare Advantage Plan Cover?

Every Medicare Advantage Plan must cover the same services as Original Medicare. This includes doctor visits, hospital stays, preventive care, lab tests, outpatient procedures, and more. But the real value of Medicare Advantage often lies in the extra benefits these plans may offer, such as:

• Vision, dental, and hearing coverage

• Prescription drug coverage (many include Part D)

• Fitness programs like SilverSneakers®

• Telehealth services

• Transportation to medical appointments

• Over-the-counter allowances for health items

These added benefits are not available through Original Medicare and can significantly improve quality of life — all while consolidating your healthcare coverage under one plan.

Who Should Consider a Medicare Advantage Plan?

A Medicare Advantage Plan may be ideal for individuals who:

• Want predictable, often lower monthly costs

• Prefer coordinated care through a network (like an HMO or PPO)

• Like the convenience of bundled coverage, including drug benefits

• Are interested in extra services not covered by Original Medicare

It’s important to review the provider networks and plan details to ensure your preferred doctors and facilities are included.
