Change Coming to Medicare Advantage

There are impending changes coming to Medicare Advantage Programs—one type of health coverage Medicare-eligible individuals may choose.

Congress has passed provisions that would lower the payments to insurance companies offering Medicare Advantage Programs (known as Medicare Part C) , and that could impact the benefits these programs currently are offering. While the reduction in payments won't occur until at least 2013 we believe you should be aware of changes that will be coming.

To read more about the Medicare Advantage Program go to the Medicare Consumer website to read an article about the changes to the program and a viewpoint on how that will impact all Medicare Advantage Programs.
