Other Medicare Plans
There are some types of Medicare Plans that provide health care coverage that aren't part of Medicare Advantage, but are still part of the Medicare Program. Medicare either pays a set amount of money for your care every month to these plans or reimburses the plan's reasonable cost for your care. They provide your Medicare Part A and Part B coverage, and some provide Part D (Medicare prescription drug coverage) as well.
These plans may work in much the same way, and have some of the same rules, as Medicare Advantage Plans (see Compare How Three Types of Medicare Advantage Plans Work
and How to Join and Switch Medicare Plans
). Each type of plan has special rules and exceptions. However, you should contact any plan you may be interested in to get more details.
