Medicare Advantage is also known as Medicare Part C. With a Medicare Advantage, or MA, plan, a private insurance company takes over the administration of medical benefits under Medicare Parts A & B. MA plans may or may not include prescription drug coverage offered by Part D plans.

Secure Horizons is just one of the insurance companies that may offer MA plans in your area. There may be other options in you area, such as a Medicare Supplement, or Medigap plan.

You can request information on current MA plans or other plan options available in your area by contacting Medicare at 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227).
