What is a common feature of Medicare Advantage plans compared to original Medicare?

Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Medicare Part C, are designed to provide more comprehensive coverage compared to Original Medicare (Parts A and B). One of the defining features of these plans is that they often include additional benefits that are not typically covered by Original Medicare, such as wellness programs, dental and vision care, and other services that can enhance a member's overall health and well-being. These additional benefits are aimed at improving health outcomes and can be a significant draw for individuals enrolling in Medicare Advantage plans.

In contrast, the other options do not accurately reflect the typical features of these plans. Medicare Advantage plans cover more than just emergency services; they include a wide range of medical services. They also provide coverage for hospital stays, similar to Original Medicare, as they must offer at least the same basic benefits. Regarding out-of-pocket maximums, while Medicare Advantage plans do have cost-sharing limits, they often provide a structured and potentially lower-cost alternative to Original Medicare alone, rather than higher out-of-pocket maximums. Thus, the additional benefits included in Medicare Advantage plans set them apart as a more comprehensive option for enrollees.
