Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans combine Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance) in one plan and usually include prescription drug coverage. Often, these plans also offer additional benefits such as dental, vision, hearing and fitness.

Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans insured by UnitedHealthcare® Insurance Company, or an affiliate, are health insurance plans designed to supplement Original Medicare. They help pay some or all the health care costs that Original Medicare does not cover (like copays, coinsurance and deductibles).

Medicare Part D prescription drug plans are stand-alone plans that help pay for prescription drugs. Part D plans may be added with Original Medicare and/or a Medicare Supplement insurance plan, as well as with certain Medicare Advantage plans that don't include prescription drug coverage.
