** You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium if not otherwise paid for under Medicaid or by another party. Not all plans are available in all locations.

What are the disadvantages to a Medicare Advantage Plan?

Medicare Advantage can become expensive if you're sick, due to uncovered copays. Additionally, a plan may offer only a limited network of doctors, which can interfere with a patient's choice. It's not easy to change to another plan. If you decide to switch to a Medigap policy, there often are lifetime penalties.

What is the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Complete?

Medicare Advantage plans cover everything Original Medicare covers plus more, so if you want things like dental, vision or fitness benefits, a Medicare Advantage plan may be the right choice.

What is AARP Medicare Advantage Choice PPO?

AARP Medicare Advantage offers Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans in many of its markets. With a PPO, you have a bit of freedom to choose from among healthcare providers who are either in the plan's preferred network or outside the network.
