Guide cover

You've seen the commercials. You've gotten the mailers. Everyone wants to sell you a Medicare Advantage plan. But before you sign on the dotted line, you need to know exactly what you're trading away.

At Patriot Plans, we believe in straight answers, no surprises. That's why we built this guide. We're not here to push you into a plan that doesn't fit your life. We're here to walk you through every option so you can make the call that's right for you.

The truth is, the choice isn't between a Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage. The real choice is between Traditional Medicare (Parts A and B) and Medicare Advantage (Part C). It's two different paths, not two different products.

When you choose Medicare Advantage, you're opting into a private network. You're agreeing to their rules, their doctors, and their prior authorizations. For some folks, the extra benefits and lower upfront costs make sense. For others, the restrictions are a dealbreaker.

Our free guide breaks down the mechanics of Medicare Advantage without the sales pitch. You'll learn:

  • How networks actually work (and what happens if you go out-of-network)
  • The truth about "zero premium" plans
  • Why prior authorizations matter when you're sick
  • How to compare your options free, no obligation

Protect what you've earned. Don't let a slick commercial make your healthcare decisions for you. Download the guide, get the facts, and take control of your Medicare path. Because self-reliance isn't a slogan - it's how you protect your future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Advantage (Part C) is an alternative to Traditional Medicare. You receive your Part A and Part B benefits through a private insurance company, which often includes prescription drug coverage and extra benefits, but requires you to use their network of doctors and follow their rules.

Are Medicare Advantage plans really free?

No. While some plans have a $0 monthly premium, you still must pay your Medicare Part B premium. You will also have copays, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums when you use healthcare services.

Can I switch from Medicare Advantage to a Medigap plan later?

Yes, but it can be difficult. If you leave Medicare Advantage after your trial right period, you will likely have to pass medical underwriting to get a Medigap plan, meaning you could be denied coverage based on your health.
