Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) and Cost Plans

Medicare Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan - A Medicare Advantage Plan that provides all Original Medicare Part A and Part B health coverage and sometimes covers Part D prescription drug coverage. PPOs have network doctors and hospitals but you can also use out-of network providers, usually at a higher cost.

Medicare Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) Plan - A Medicare Advantage Plan in which you may go to any Medicare-approved doctor conditions and agrees to treat you not all providers will. If you join a PFFS Plan that has a network, you can see any of the network providers who have agreed to always treat plan members. You will usually pay more to see out-of-network providers.

Examples of the specific groups served include people who have both Medicare and Medicaid, people who reside in nursing homes, and people who have certain chronic medical conditions.
