Medicare Advantage Plans

Medicare Advantage enables you to modify your traditional Medicare coverage by choosing from among different types of subsidized private plans, including Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans, Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans and Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plans.
