How Part C Works

What Medicare Advantage includes in Colorado

Part C plans combine hospital and medical coverage and are offered by private insurers approved by Medicare. In many Colorado counties, these plans may feature $0 or low monthly premiums, fixed copays for common services, and a maximum out-of-pocket limit for covered care. Extras may include dental cleanings, vision allowances, hearing benefits, over-the-counter stipends, and fitness programs—availability varies by plan and county. The key is understanding which benefits matter most to you and matching them with the plan designs available where you live.

Doctors, Clinics, and Networks

Keeping the Providers You Trust

Most Medicare Advantage plans use HMO or PPO networks. Before you enroll, Medicare Mastery checks whether your primary doctor, specialists, and preferred hospitals participate so you know exactly what to expect. Many people want to confirm they can keep their current providers, and we make sure those details are clear before you choose a plan. That way, you can choose a Medicare Advantage plan with confidence, knowing your care team is part of the network.

Advantage vs. Supplement

When Part C or Medigap May be a Better Fit

Some people value the bundled extras and lower premiums of Medicare Advantage. Others prefer the portability and predictable coverage of a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan paired with Original Medicare. Medigap may make sense if you want flexibility to see providers nationwide without worrying about networks. Advantage could be a good fit if you prefer one ID card, added benefits like dental or vision, and are comfortable staying within a plan’s network rules.

Prescriptions and Part D

Drug Coverage Bundled or Standalone

Many Medicare Advantage plans in Colorado include built-in Part D prescription drug coverage. Others do not, which means you may need a standalone drug plan. Medicare Mastery helps you review medication lists, tiering, and preferred pharmacies to estimate annual costs and find a plan that matches your prescriptions.

Enrollment Windows

AEP, OEP, and Special Enrollment Periods

Timing matters. The Annual Enrollment Period runs each fall for changes effective January 1. If you’re already on an Advantage plan, the Open Enrollment Period at the start of the year allows a one-time change. Special Enrollment Periods may apply when you move, qualify for Extra Help, or lose employer coverage. We’ll confirm your window so you can enroll on time.

FAQ: Your Medicare Advantage Questions Answered

  • What’s the difference between Advantage and Supplement?

    Advantage plans use plan networks, set copays, and often include extra benefits. A Supplement (Medigap) works with Original Medicare and is widely accepted, which many people prefer for travel or out-of-area care.

  • Are prescriptions included with Part C?

    Many plans bundle Part D prescription drug coverage, but not all. We check your medication list, tiers, and nearby preferred pharmacies to confirm fit.

  • Can I keep my doctor?

    We verify network participation and referral requirements before you enroll. If your doctor isn’t in-network, we’ll discuss alternatives or whether a Medigap route makes more sense.

  • When can I switch plans?

    Most people make changes during the Annual Enrollment Period. Advantage members also have an Open Enrollment Period at the start of each year, and certain life changes may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.

  • How often can I change my Medicare Advantage plan in Colorado?

    You can make changes during the Annual Enrollment Period each fall, the Open Enrollment Period in early spring, or during certain Special Enrollment Periods if you qualify. We’ll walk through the timing that applies to your situation so you don’t miss an opportunity to adjust your coverage.
