What exactly is Medicare Hospital Insurance under Medicare Advantage?
My Grandpa is hospitalized for the last few days and he is an eligible candidate of Medicare. I want to know what is Medicare hospital insurance under Medicare Advantage.
Medicare Hospital Insurance, also known as Medicare Part A, is one of the components of Original Medicare. Under Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C), private insurance companies offer an alternative way to receive Medicare benefits. Medicare Advantage plans combine the coverage of Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) into a single plan. These plans often include additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare, such as prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, and hearing services. Medicare Advantage plans must provide at least the same level of coverage as Original Medicare but can offer extra benefits, making them a popular choice for many beneficiaries seeking more comprehensive healthcare coverage.
