2020 Medicare Advantage Plans in Oregon Medicare Part C

Want to compare the top 2020 Medicare Advantage plans to find the best options in Oregon? You're one little step away. You'll need to go to your County page (below) to see the plans that apply to you. Medicare Advantage plan options vary by area. Here's why.

Unlike Medicare Part D prescription drug plans, which are a statewide option, Medicare Advantage Plans vary by county. The reason for this is simple. Not all areas have the same healthcare resources or needs, so county-by-county plans work better. Click on your County to get started.

Getting Enrolled in a 2020 Medicare Advantage Plan

Most Oregon seniors qualify to join a Medicare Advantage plan. Certain diseases, most notably End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), may disqualify you from enrollment.

There are several different Medicare Election Periods. This is when you can join or change your plan. Most people wait until 15 October to 7 December to make enrollment changes. This is the Annual Election Period (AEP).

There's also an Individual Election Period (IEP) that you can use once. Your IEP is a 90 day period around your 65th birthday. It starts the month before you turn 65 and ends the month after.

You can get enrolled three ways:

1. Call a plan directly. If you know the plan you want, this way is quick and easy.
2. Go to www.Medicare.gov and enroll through the government website. From there you can look up your medications, compare plans, and get your application started online.
3. Use an independent Oregon insurance agent. This is the best way to go if you need someone to help advise you.

Original Medicare + Medigap vs. Medicare Advantage

If you are worried that an HMO or PPO plan will try to limit your care, Medicare Advantage is not the only way to get full coverage. For a little more each month you can have the best care available and lower your out-of-pocket expenses. Savvy seniors hold on to their Original Medicare and get the additional coverage they need with a Oregon Medicare Part D Plan (prescriptions) and Oregon Medicare Supplement Insurance.

If you're not familiar with Medigap policies, and how they protect you from medical care liability, please review our Oregon Medigap Plans page. All Medigap plans are standardized. That means you can choose the plan you need based on the best price without worrying about the benefits.
