Choices Are a Beautiful Thing!
As a Medicare beneficiary, you can choose from different Medicare options. One option is the Original (fee-for-service) Medicare Plan. Another option is a Medicare Advantage Plan from Vantage Health Plan. We offer 3 different plans to fit your budget. At Vantage, our top priority is to make your health care plan as simple as possible. You get the services you need when you need them. We've developed programs and services that help you focus on wellness and prevention to keep you active for years to come.

What is a Medicare Advantage Plan?
In the past, Medicare beneficiaries have always had the option of Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance). In January 2006, beneficiaries had the opportunity to add Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage) with a separate premium. Many have wondered where and what is Medicare Part C. Medicare Part C Plans combine Medicare Parts A, B and D into one plan with no separate premium for Part D. These plans are known as Medicare Advantage Plans. You now have the option of enrolling in a Medicare Part C Plan, and Vantage now offers five different Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans.  These plans allow beneficiaries to enroll in a plan that fits their needs and ensures great coverage for a great price.

When enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, members are still covered by Medicare, but they are getting health care and prescription drug coverage through our plan. With our plan, there is no separate premium for Part D drug coverage and members receive supplement benefits, lower co-pays, and no deductibles (with the exception of the “Zero” and "Traditional Plus" Plans).
How will a Part C Medicare Advantage Plan, such as Vantage, benefit me compared to Original Medicare?

When you choose a Vantage Plan, you get:
  1. More benefits than Original Medicare
  2. Low monthly plan premiums
  3. No deductibles on most plans
  4. Prescription drug savings
  5. No separate premium for Part D Prescription drug coverage
  6. Plan extras
  7. Predictable costs that are easy to budget
  8. No need for Medicare Supplement Policies
  9. Worldwide coverage for emergencies
  10. More for your health care dollar
