To be eligible for a Medicare Advantage plan, a beneficiary must be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B and live within the specific plan's service area.
Medicare Advantage plans come in several different network structures, including HMOs, PPOs, Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plans, and Special Needs Plans (SNPs).
When comparing Medicare Advantage plans, beneficiaries should evaluate maximum out-of-pocket limits, provider network restrictions, and the specific tiered copays for their required prescription drugs.
