Why Choose a Medicare Advantage Plan?

There are three primary reasons you may choose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan:

  1. Low or no-cost monthly premiums,
  2. Lower out-of-pocket costs, and
  3. Additional benefits such as comprehensive dental, vision, hearing, and more.
Image showing a Medicare Advantage Plan's value

1. Low or no-cost monthly premiums

You have access to a Medicare Advantage plan as low as $0 monthly. If you don't qualify for a $0 premium plan, the average is $60.26 per month. This premium is low, especially compared to a Medicare Supplement plan or your Part B premiums.

2. Lower out-of-pocket costs

Original Medicare doesn't cap their out-of-pocket costs, so you could end up with unexpectedly high medical bills. With Original Medicare Part B, you must pay the premium, deductible, and 20% coinsurance for Medicare-approved services and procedures. The 20% can add up.

3. Additional benefits not available with Original Medicare

Want routine dental coverage? Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) don't offer comprehensive dental, vision, or hearing coverage. These services would be entirely out-of-pocket for you.

The good news? Medicare Advantage plans have low or no-cost premiums, an out-of-pocket maximum, offer additional benefits, and are regulated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). With a Medicare Advantage plan, you could receive prescription drug coverage, routine dental, vision, hearing, transportation, reduced cost-sharing, a gym membership, and more.

Find the right Medicare plan for you

Types of Medicare Advantage Plans Available in Orlando

There are 3 Medicare Advantage plan types you can choose from in Orlando. These include: Local HMO, Local PPO, Regional PPO. Not sure which is the best plan for your health needs and budget? We'll walk you through the most popular plan types: HMO, PPO, and SNPs. At the end of this section, you'll understand the difference between these three most popular plan types.

Medicare Advantage HMO Plans

You have 34 Medicare Advantage HMO plans to choose from in Orlando. An HMO, or Health Maintenance Organization, is a type of health plan that limits coverage to in-network care from doctors who work for or contract with the HMO. Typically, HMO plans won't cover out-of-network care except in an emergency.

Medicare Advantage PPO Plans

There are 21 Medicare Advantage PPO plans in Orlando. A PPO, or Preferred Provider Organization, is a type of health plan where you pay less to use doctors in the plan's network. Unlike an HMO, you can see doctors and specialists and use a hospital outside the network without a referral for an additional cost.

Still not sure if an HMO or PPO plan is best for you? A local licensed agent can help you choose the right plan for your health needs and budget - Call 1-888-369-1211 to speak with an agent today.

Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans (SNPs)

Special Needs Plans, or SNPs, are a type of Medicare Advantage plan. There are two types of Special Needs Plans that may be available to you: Chronic Special Needs Plans (C-SNP) and Dual Special Needs Plans (D-SNP).

Chronic Special Needs Plans (C-SNP) are limited to people with specific illnesses or characteristics. For example, you may qualify for a C-SNP if you have diabetes, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), HIV/AIDS, dementia, chronic heart failure, or other qualifying illness. Medicare C-SNPs tailor benefits, provider choices, and drug formularies to meet the needs of the special needs groups they serve.

You may qualify for a Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) if you are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. With a D-SNP, the State of Florida may cover your Medicare costs, depending on your eligibility.

Plans are available to fit your health and finances. You may qualify for a C-SNP or a D-SNP. Call Connie Health at 1-888-369-1211 to determine your eligibility for these tailored plans.

Veteran Benefits & Medicare

If you or your spouse are veterans, you likely have VA benefits. However, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs encourages you to sign up for Medicare as soon as you are eligible. Here are three reasons you should speak to a local licensed agent about how VA benefits and Medicare work together:

  1. Having Medicare means you're covered when you need care from a non-VA hospital or doctor, which also offers you greater health options.
  2. VA benefits and health care could change in the future, so you should enroll in every health care benefit that you are eligible for.
  3. If you lose VA benefits and aren't enrolled in Medicare, you could face Medicare Part B and Part D lifetime late enrollment penalties.
Connie Health can help you find a plan that works with your Veteran benefits. Call 1-888-369-1211 to speak with a local licensed agent today.

The best Medicare Advantage plan in Orlando is the plan that best serves your health and budget needs. There is no “best plan” because what serves your neighbor likely won't serve you best. Medicare isn't one-size-fits-all.

Every Medicare beneficiary in Orlando has access to a $0 monthly premium Medicare Advantage plan. That is the lowest cost premium, and there are 48 plans with a $0 premium in Orlando. For those that pay a premium, the average monthly cost is $60.26.

129,575 of 211,161 eligible Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan in Orlando. That's 61.36% of the city's Medicare population. These people have chosen to protect themselves from the potentially high out-of-pocket costs of Original Medicare while receiving extra benefits like comprehensive dental, vision, hearing, and more.

Medicare costs include premiums and deductibles, but also copays and coinsurance. These amounts will depend on the plan or plans that you choose. A Medicare Advantage plan in Orlando will cost an average of $60.26 per month for the premium, in addition to the Medicare Part B premium and Medicare Part A, if that applies. Out-of-pocket costs will vary depending on the Medicare-approved services or procedures you need and medications. However, the average Medicare Advantage out-of-pocket maximum is $4,442 per year, and the average prescription drug plan deductible is $90.31.

A Medicare Advantage plan includes Medicare Part A and B, oftentimes prescription drug coverage, and extra benefits like dental, vision, and hearing. These plans are also called Medicare Part C plans. Medicare Supplement plans, also called Medigap, supplements your Original Medicare benefits and pays for out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by Part A and Medicare Part B. A Medicare Supplement plan only works with Original Medicare and doesn't include extra benefits.
