Colorado Medicare Advantage Health Plans for Seniors

About Medicare Advantage Health Plans in Colorado

Colorado Medicare Advantage Plans are health plan options (like an HMO or PPO) approved by Medicare and offered by private companies. These plans are part of Medicare and are sometimes called “Part C” or “MA Plans.” Medicare pays a fixed amount for your care every month to the companies offering Medicare Advantage Plans. These companies must follow rules set by Medicare.  Medicare Advantage Plans provide your Medicare health coverage and usually Medicare drug coverage. They aren’t supplemental insurance. Not all Medicare Advantage Plans work the same way, so find out the plan’s rules before joining.

Who Can Join Medicare Advantage Programs?

You can generally join a Medicare Advantage Plan if you meet these conditions: You have Part A and Part B. You live in the service area of the plan.

In most cases, you can join a Medicare Advantage Plan only at certain times during the year.
