Georgia Medicare Advantage Health Plans for Seniors

About Medicare Advantage Health Plans in Georgia

Georgia 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.

Saving on Your Part D Premium

Your Medicare Advantage Plan’s premium may include the premium for Medicare prescription drug coverage (Part D). Some plans may pay all or part of the premium for prescription drug coverage.  Plans decide each year whether to offer this help, so read the plan materials carefully. If you have limited income and resources, you may be able to get “extra help” paying for your Part D premium and other prescription drug coverage costs.  You usually get prescription drug coverage (Part D) through the plan. In most cases, if you are in a Medicare Advantage Plan that includes prescription drug coverage and you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan, you will be disenrolled from your Medicare Advantage Plan and returned to Original Medicare.
