Guide to Understanding Medicare / HealthTeam Advantage Plans

Two Types of Plans Offered by HealthTeam Advantage

Why Choose a Medicare Advantage Plan?

A Medicare Advantage plan is an all-in-one plan and provides all Part A and Part B benefits of Original Medicare, and in most cases Prescription Drug coverage plus additional benefits not covered under Original Medicare—all for as little as $0 a month plan premium.

Prescription drugs are usually covered. Most Medicare Advantage plans include Part D prescription drug benefits, so there’s no need to find and pay for a separate prescription drug plan.

So are dental, hearing, and vision care. Many Medicare Advantage plans include dental, hearing, and vision care benefits.

Some plans even include extra benefits. For instance, some Medicare Advantage plans include additional benefits like complimentary fitness memberships, telehealth visits, and more.

And your out-of-pocket costs are capped. Unlike Original Medicare, a Medicare Advantage plan has a set annual limit for out-of-pocket costs. Once you reach this limit, you pay nothing more for covered medical services.

Before You Make A Decision…

  •   Talk about your decision with a Medicare professional.
  •   You can call (800) 633-4227 (800-MEDICARE) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. TTY users should call (877) 486-2048.
