Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, is available to people who are already enrolled in Medicare Part A and B. Medicare Part C offers coverage beyond the regular care covered by A and B, like outpatient care, lab tests, hospital care, home health, skilled nursing, medical equipment, and surgery.

Medicare Advantage can provide additional benefits, including:

• Hearing
• Vision
• Dental
• Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs
• Nutrition, fitness, & wellness programs
• Senior day care
• Medically necessary transportation

Medicare Part C is usually only open to enrollment during certain times, including:

• Your initial coverage election period three months before and three months after turning 65
• The annual election period in autumn
• The Medicare Advantage open enrollment period
• Special election periods for which you qualify

Navigating Medicare, including Part C, can be complicated, so we suggest meeting with one of our agents to discuss your needs and eligibility. We can explain the various election periods to you, so you can plan around making changes to your Medicare coverage.
