Medicare Michigan

If you live in Michigan and are on Medicare, you will have coverage options for how you receive your benefits. As a Michigan resident, you have the option of enrolling in the government-run Original Medicare (Parts A and B), as well as adding Part D prescription drug coverage if desired. Alternatively, you should enroll in a Medicare Advantage package. Michigan's Medicare Savings Program or MMAP, the Michigan Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program, may be able to assist you with Medicare in Michigan.

Michigan Medicare Advantage Plans programs take the place of original Medicare by covering all of Parts A and B. Except for hospice care, Michigan Medicare Advantage Plans programs would provide all of the facilities that original Medicare provides.

Michigan Medicare Advantage Plans plans, also known as "Part C" plans, are provided by private insurance firms that have been licensed by the federal government. It's worth noting that Michigan Medicare Advantage Plans plans:

• Original Medicare Michigan Medicare Advantage Plansy have various co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles.
• Extra benefits, such as vision, hearing, or dental coverage, Michigan Medicare Advantage Plansy be available.
• Prescription drug coverage, also known as a Part D package, can be included. (For more detail on Medicare prescription drug coverage, continue reading.)
• Despite the fact that these programs cover similar benefits, they are not Medicare Supplement policies. As a result, people do not need both an Michigan Medicare Advantage Plans and a Medicare Supplement plan at the same time.
