Medicare Part C

Medicare Part C is also known as Medicare Advantage and is an alternative to Original Medicare coverage. It provides the same coverage as Original Medicare, but may include extra benefits.

To join a Medicare Advantage plan, you will need to enroll in Original Medicare.

Medicare Part D

Medicare Part D provides prescription drug coverage. All Part D plans are required to cover a significant range of prescriptions, which includes most drugs in protected classes.

You can add on a standalone Part D plan to your Part A and/or Part D coverage, or have it through Medicare Advantage as an added benefit.
