Part C of the Medicare program, also known as Medicare Advantage or Medicare + Choice, provides health care plan choices to the beneficiaries of Medicare. These plans are offered by private insurance companies that are approved by Medicare and must provide at least the same coverage as Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). Some Medicare Advantage plans may also include additional benefits such as prescription drug coverage, vision, dental, and hearing.
