Understanding Your Medicare Advantage Options

Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Medicare Part C, are private health plans that provide all-in-one coverage, including Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance). On top of the core benefits, many of the plans in Stark County throw in some nice extras - think prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, and wellness programs - making them a solid choice for those in Stark County looking for something more than Original Medicare.

🏥 Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans

HMO plan members must use the plan's network of doctors and hospitals in Stark County, and typically need a referral to see a specialist. Some Medicare Advantage HMO Plans may have lower costs but offer less flexibility in choosing healthcare providers. There are 5,278 residents enrolled in HMO plans in this county. The most popular plan is SummaCare Medicare Topaz .

🔓 Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)

A PPO allows more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers, with the option to see specialists without referrals, though often at a higher cost. Medicare Advantage PPOs usually have higher premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. There are 5,147 Stark County residents enrolled in PPO plans. The most popular of these plans by enrollments is Aetna Medicare Value .

🔀 Health Maintenance Organization Point of Sale (HMO-POS)

Medicare HMO-POS plans are a type of HMO that offers a little more flexibility. Like a regular HMO, you typically use the plan's network of doctors and hospitals for care, usually requiring a referral to see specialists. However, an HMO-POS plan lets you receive certain healthcare services outside of the network at a higher cost. There are 32,866 residents enrolled in HMO-POS plans in this Stark County. The most popular plan by enrollments is Anthem Medicare Advantage .
