Choosing the Right Medicare Plan Matters — Especially for Prosthetic Care!
When it comes to getting the best prosthetic coverage, your choice between Medicare + a Supplement Plan and a Medicare Advantage Plan can make a BIG difference.
💙 Medicare + Supplement (Medigap):
✅ Covers a wider range of prosthetic devices and components
✅ Lets you choose any prosthetist nationwide who accepts Medicare — no network limits
✅ Fewer denials and less red tape for approvals or replacements
✅ Predictable costs and peace of mind knowing your care is covered typically at 100%
⚠️ Medicare Advantage Plans:
🚫 Often limit you to specific providers or networks
🚫 Require prior authorizations and approvals that can delay care
🚫 You have to pay a high out of pocket expenses.
💬 Our advice: If you rely on a prosthesis or orthotic device, Medicare with a Supplement usually offers the most reliable coverage and freedom of choice.
