    Medicare Part C, more commonly known as Medicare Advantage plans, is a privatized form of traditional Medicare. Insurance carriers become sub-contractors to Medicare and provide benefits for Medicare Beneficiaries.

    Advantage plans cover the same things as Medicare but the similarities stop there.

    Medicare and Medicare supplement plans are the same regardless of your state or zip code.

    Advantage plans differ by state and even within a state.

    Advantage plans have low premiums (sometimes $0) and introduce deductibles, copay's and coinsurance when you access medical services. 

    Advantage plans also require you to use limited doctor and hospital networks.
