What Are The Benefits Of Medicare Part C? 
Medicare Part C , more commonly known as Medicare Advantage plans , is a privatized form of traditional Medicare . Insurance carriers become sub-contractors to Medicare and provide benefits for Medicare Beneficiaries . Advantage plans cover the same things as Medicare but the similarities stop there . Medicare and Medicare supplement plans are the same regardless of your state or zip code . Advantage plans differ by state and even within a state . Advantage plans have low premiums -LRB- sometimes $ 0 -RRB- and introduce deductibles , copay 's and coinsurance when you access medical services . Advantage plans also require you to use limited doctor and hospital networks .
