Medicare Part C typically excludes which Part?

• A. Part A
• B. Part B
• C. Part C
• D. Part D

Answer: (D)

Medicare Part C, or Medicare Advantage, bundles coverage for hospital care (Part A) and medical services (Part B through a private plan). It’s designed to be an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare. Prescription drug coverage (Part D) isn’t automatically included in a standard Part C plan. Some Part C plans offer drug coverage if they’re labeled as MAPD (Medicare Advantage with Prescription Drug), but many plans do not include Part D and require you to enroll in a separate Part D plan for medications. So, the component that’s typically not part of Part C is prescription drug coverage.
