2Medicare Advantage PPO Plan
What Is It and What Is Covered?
Medicare Advantage Preferred Provider Organization or PPO is a plan that allows beneficiaries to have provider flexibility. Specifically, you can choose any provider you want to visit and receive coverage for medical services. However, the amount of coverage may vary for out-of-network and in-network providers. You would save more money when using in-network providers. For out-of-network providers, you need to pay more money. [2]
If you choose a Medicare Advantage PPO plan, the following expenses may be covered:
– Medicare Part A: hospital services, hospice care, limited home healthcare, and limited care in skilled nursing facilities
– Medicare Part B: outpatient care, medical tests, doctors’ services, medical equipment, home health services, and certain preventive services
– Hearing, vision, and dental care
– Prescription medications
– Additional benefits, such as transportation to hospitals or fitness memberships [3]
