Medicare Supplement (Part C) is geared more towards letting participants pick only the individual features which they
deem to be most important, whereas Medicare Advantage is geared towards being all-inclusive.
Many authorities on the topic consider the case for Medicare Advantage to be composed of 3 broad reasons:
1. All of the coverage features are contained in a single plan, rather than the multi-part structure of traditional Medicare.
2. Medicare Advantage typically includes all of the coverages available under traditional Medicare, as well as additional
items that Medicare does not cover, at all (e.g. eyeglasses, food programs, etc.).
3. Medicare Advantage insurers have a vested interest in keeping their customers happy, and usually devote
substantial resources to customer service, case management and access to medical personnel for nursing or
prescription questions.
