January 21, 2016 Medicare Advantage Covers High-Value Supplemental Benefits for Seniors
A new article in Health Affairs describes how Medicare Advantage’s supplemental benefits cover high-value services absent in Medicare Fee-For-Service. As seniors age, many experience vision, hearing and dental issues, but Medicare Fee-For-Service does not cover routine eye, hearing or dental care. Medicare Advantage plans offer supplemental benefits that cover these services at no additional cost to the beneficiary, and some also offer fitness and transportation benefits.
