What does a Medicare Advantage plan cost?

Like Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans share the cost of care through deductibles, co-payments (copays) and co-insurance. These costs vary by plan. Our HMO plans offer $0 premiums, low out-of-pocket costs, and low prescription drug costs. While our $0 premium PPO plans cost a bit more for the opportunity to go out-of-network and see specialists without a referral, they still offer low out-of-pocket costs for in-network visits.

Medicare Advantage plans also have an out-of-pocket-maximum. Once you reach the maximum, your Medicare Advantage plan pays 100% toward Medicare covered services and you don’t pay anything.

Your Original Medicare (Parts A and B) costs may include:

  • Deductible - The amount you pay before Florida Blue Medicare begins to pay its share of the cost. Some MA plans have a separate drug deductible before they start to pay for your prescriptions.

  • Copay - A flat dollar amount (for example, $10) you pay each time you receive care or fill a drug.

  • Coinsurance - A percentage (for example, 10%) you pay for your care or drugs after you meet your deductible.

  • Premium - A fixed, monthly amount you pay for your MA plan coverage. Many Florida Blue Part C plans have a $0 premium.

  • Out-of-pocket maximum - The most you pay for covered health care services during your plan’s calendar year. All of your Medicare-covered expenses go toward this maximum.
