What's Medicare Advantage?

More than half of Floridians select Medicare Advantage as their coverage of choice. But what is it, and is it better than Original Medicare? Medicare Advantage, also called Medicare Part C, are all-in-one plans that bundle several types of coverage benefits.

With Medicare advantage plans, you get Medicare part A (the hospital coverage) and Medicare Part B (the medical coverage), along with any combination of extra benefits, like drug coverage, dental, dental, vision and hearing. Some plans even offer gym memberships, transportation and stipends.

Medicare's Medicare and You 2023 Handbook

Your online connection to the "Medicare & You" handbook. It includes everything you need to know about Medicare, whether it's when and how to sign up, an explanation of the different ways to get Medicare coverage, or what procedures and services are covered on what plan. You can find it in this 126-page handbook.

2023's book won't be released until the fall because benefits updates are debuted on October 1 for the following year, which means you only have two weeks to prepare before Open Enrollment starts on October 15.
