Happy Thursday!
Let’s talk Traditional Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage Plans.
Traditional Medicare pays 80% of the allowable for services, leaving the patient to pay 20%. This is called coinsurance…most patients have a secondary insurance that will pick up that 20%…leaving no patient responsibility.
- No P*P referral needed
- Choose you own doctors
Medicare Advantage Plans:
- Most have copays
- P*P referral is needed to see a specialist
- Some providers do not participate with Medicare Advantage Plans
