Medicare Advantage Insurance Plan
The Grace Agency, your Partner for Medicare Insurance Solutions!
At The Grace Agency, we understand the importance of finding the right insurance plan that fits your needs and budget. Medicare Advantage Plans are offered as 1- year contracts, meaning their coverage details, benefits, costs and provider networks can change annually. Each year insurance companies may adjust their plans based on new healthcare regulations, market conditions or changes to Medicare guidelines. That's why it's crucial to review your Medicare Advantage Plan options annually to ensure you continue to have the best coverage. Our agents stay up-to-date with these changes. Let us handle the details so that you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying what matters most!
Medicare Advantage plans have gained popularity due to low or $0 monthly premiums and additional benefits not offered by Original Medicare or Medicare Supplemental Plans. These plans offer an all-in -one alternative to Original Medicare, often including extra benefits such as dental, vision, hearing and prescription drug coverage, that Original Medicare does not cover. Many beneficiaries find these plans appealing because of their lower out-of-pocket costs, predictable expenses and access to coordinated care through network providers. Medicare Advantage plans are also customizable to fit different healthcare needs and budgets, making them a flexible option. However, all Medicare Advantage Plans use networks like HMO or PPO except in emergencies, you must use providers within the plan's network. These plans can sometimes require prior authorization for certain services, treatments or specialists visits. To qualify, beneficiaries must be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B and live in their plan's service area.

What Is a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan?
A Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plan is a type of health insurance offered by private companies approved by Medicare. This option combines the benefits of Medicare Parts A and B (hospital and medical coverage) with Medicare Part D (prescription drug coverage) into one plan, known as Medicare Part C.
There are also Medicare Advantage (MA) ONLY plans, that combine Medicare Parts A and B but do NOT include a prescription drug plan. These plans are often chosen by veterans who receive their prescription drugs through the Veterans Affairs Administration.

What Are the Benefits of Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Advantage plans stand out from traditional Medicare because they offer additional benefits like vision, dental, and hearing coverage, as well as extras like gym memberships, wellness programs and even allowances for over-the-counter items or grocery money. These added benefits can be valuable for those looking to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
Another significant advantage is that Medicare Advantage plans generally have lower out-of-pocket costs compared to traditional Medicare. Many plans have $0 monthly premiums with low copays.
It's important to note that any doctor you see, must be in the plans network unless it's an emergency. However, in an emergency, you can access any hospital or urgent care facility.
