Medicare Advantage (also called Medicare Part C) is a type of health insurance plan offered by private insurance companies that contracts with Medicare to provide Part A and Part B benefits. Medicare Advantage plans often include additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare, such as dental, vision, hearing, and prescription drug coverage (Part D). Enrollees pay their Medicare Part B premium plus any additional premium charged by the plan.

Medicare Advantage is one of the fastest-growing segments of the Medicare market, with over 30 million Americans enrolled as of 2024.
