Choosing the right Medicare plan can be as crucial to your health as the medical care you receive. This is particularly true when it comes to Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Part C. In North Carolina, residents have a myriad of options, each with its own set of benefits and costs. With questions like "Do I still pay Medicare premiums with an Advantage plan?" and "Does Medicare cover 100 percent of hospital bills?" on many beneficiaries' minds, it's vital to have clear and accurate information.

Understanding Medicare Advantage Costs and Coverage

Medicare Advantage Plans are an alternative to Original Medicare, offered by private insurance companies. They cover everything Original Medicare does and often include additional benefits, such as prescription drugs, vision, and dental. However, one of the most common misconceptions is that these added benefits come without the standard costs associated with Medicare. The truth is, while Medicare Advantage Plans can offer more extensive coverage, enrollees typically still pay the Medicare Part B premium, along with any additional premium charged by the plan. It's also important to note that coverage does not usually extend to 100 percent of hospital bills, making out-of-pocket costs a significant factor in your plan choice.
