Medicare Health Plan Choices

Original Medicare is a “fee-for-service” plan.  You are charged a fee for each covered health care service or supply you receive.  Many people in the Original Medicare Plan also buy a MedSup (Medicare Supplement Insurance) policy to help pay health care costs the plan doesn’t cover.

Medicare Advantage plans (formerly Medicare + Choice) are private health plans that operate under contract to Medicare and offer a wide range of benefits.  For more information about local choices, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit www.medicare.gov.
