Medicare Advantage Plan covers the same services as Medicare Part A and Part B combined, and may offer prescription drug coverage at an extra cost. 

Medicare Part C plans typically offer all of the benefits of Parts A and B, plus additional coverage options. 

Some of the potential benefits include: 

• Hospital stays
• Doctor's visits
• Specialist care
• Vision, hearing, and dental care

A Medicare Advantage Plan is offered by private insurance companies that contract with Medicare, which means you can choose your preferred plan whether it is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) or a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO).
