What is Medicare Advantage and how does it work with Medicare + Choice plans?
Medicare Advantage is the new name for Medicare + Choice plans. Medicare Advantage rules and payments are improved to give you more health plan choices. In 2006, Medicare Advantage plan choices will be expanded to include regional preferred provider organization plans (PPOs). Regional PPOs will help ensure that all people with Medicare have multiple choices for Medicare health coverage. PPOs can help you save money by choosing from doctors and providers on a plan’s �preferred� list, but usually don’t require you to get a referral.
