Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance) are combined in one plan, and may include additional benefits beyond Original Medicare, like prescription drug coverage, dental, hearing and vision care.
Dual Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) Dual Medicare Special Needs Plans are a type of Medicare Advantage plan for individuals who have both Medicare and Medicaid.
