There are good reasons to opt for a Medicare Advantage plan instead of Medicare plus Medigap. Medicare Advantage covers the same benefits included in a traditional Medicare plan (Parts A and B), but Medicare Advantage plans often charge different (usually lower) co-payments, all of your coverage is consolidated under a single plan, and there may be no additional monthly premium. The monthly premiums are lower than Medicare, but the out-of-pocket expenses may be much higher.Medicare Advantage plans also include prescription drug coverage at no additional cost. Medigap plans do not cover drug prescriptions, so if you need help in paying for prescriptions, you will need to purchase a Medicare Part D policy. Most Medicare Advantage plans require you to see providers in-network or pay high co-payments for out-of-network service; you may need a referral from your primary doctor to see a specialist and it may be more expensive.
