Medicare Part C is also known as?

• A. Original Medicare
• B. Medicare Advantage Plan
• C. Prescription Drug Plan
• D. Supplemental Coverage

Answer: (B)

Medicare Part C is the Medicare Advantage Plan. It’s a private-plan option that replaces Original Medicare (Parts A and B) with coverage provided by a private insurer approved by Medicare. These plans must cover at least what Parts A and B cover, but they often add extra benefits and may include prescription drug coverage (MA-PD plans). The other terms refer to different pieces of the program: Original Medicare is the government-offered Parts A and B; a Prescription Drug Plan is Part D; and Supplemental Coverage (Medigap) helps pay costs not covered by Original Medicare.
