Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, combines the coverage of Medicare Part A and Part B into a single plan offered by private insurance companies. It provides additional benefits like prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, and hearing services.

Medicare part D is stand alone drug coverage for people still getting benefits through original Medicare.

The benefits they boast are reserved for Medicaid recipients only.

NO. There are copays and out of pocket expenses associated with EVERY plan that is not Medicaid backed. Talk to your agent on how to prepare for these.
