3 Reasons to Switch From Original Medicare to Medicare Advantage During Open Enrollment
Open enrollment for Medicare begins this week and runs through December 7, and it's a key opportunity for current enrollees to change their coverage for the better. If you're currently enrolled in original Medicare -- Parts A, B, and D -- then you may thinking about moving over to a Medicare Advantage plan instead. Here's why that could really pay off.
Many seniors are shocked to learn that original Medicare won't pay for a number of essential health services, like dental care, vision exams, and hearing aids, that seniors commonly need all the time. But Medicare Advantage generally will pick up the tab for those services. Not only that, but some Advantage plans offer added lifestyle benefits like transportation to medical appointment, daily living assistance at home, and even meal delivery services. You may also be entitled to certain fitness or wellness benefits as part of your Advantage plan.
