What Type of Medicare Plan is Right for You?
Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C)
These all-in-one plans combine Part A, B and D to give you more than just Original Medicare. Most of our Medicare Advantage plans include coverage for prescription drugs, dental, vision, and hearing aids. They also offer benefits such as SilverSneakers fitness memberships, money for over-the-counter items, and more.
Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)
Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs, something Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not cover. Part D is important if you take regular medications for a condition such as high blood pressure.
Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans
While Original Medicare covers medical expenses like hospital stays, lab tests, and outpatient care, you still have deductibles, copays, and coinsurance to pay on your own. Medicare Supplement plans, also called Medigap plans, cover what Original Medicare doesn’t.
Medicare Dental and Vision Coverage
Original Medicare doesn’t come with dental or vision coverage, but Medicare Advantage plans often include routine dental and vision care. If you want more coverage, there are add-on dental and vision packages for Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.
An advantage with Empire Medicare plans is our large network of doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies. We are constantly working with care providers and pharmacies to lower costs so you save money.
You can rely on us to review our networks regularly. This ensures our members have excellent choices when it comes to doctors.
