Why Should I Get a Medicare Advantage Plan?                                                                             

Whether you’re enrolling in Medicare for the first time or looking to reduce your monthly costs, the most important thing to remember is that Original Medicare (Parts A & B) only covers a portion of your medical expenses. From copays and deductibles to prescription drugs, there are some things that Medicare beneficiaries have to pay out-of-pocket.

Medicare Advantage, or Part C, is a type of Medicare that is operated through a private insurance company. These plans can include coverage that fills the gaps in Original Medicare.

In addition to better coverage and more comprehensive protection, many Medicare Advantage plans come with low or even $0 premiums.

FirstCare Health’s Medicare D-SNP Plan: Overview

The Dual Special Needs Plan from FirstCare Health is designed for people who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. If you are not eligible for Medicaid, then you should talk to your Personal Benefits Manager about finding a plan that’s a better fit.

There are two different FirstCare Medicare options to choose from, D-SNP Premier and D-SNP Select. Both plans cover everything included in Original Medicare, as well as additional protection for dental, hearing, vision, and more.
