 This is MNN. We recently spoke with Brian Eck, Vice President of Sales at UCARE, about Medicare supplement plans. How is a Medicare supplement plan different from a Medicare Advantage plan? Well, a Medicare Advantage plan will typically bundle everyone's Medicare coverage by combining Part A and Part B with some extra services built in. Many plans will also include Part D prescription drug coverage. While a Medicare Advantage plan may have lower premiums, folks may also need to pay more in terms of copayments or coinsurance when they're accessing medical care.
