Medicare Advantage Plans With $0 or Low Monthly Premiums: Here’s What You Need to Know

Medicare Advantage plans with low monthly premiums appear to be a popular plan option for Medicare enrollees.

How popular? 54% of people on Medicare have a Medicare Advantage plan² and in 2024, 75% of beneficiaries had a $0 premium plan.³

Why is it so popular?

Medicare Advantage plans (also called Medicare Part C) provide you with all your Part A and Part B benefits, and may provide extra coverage above and beyond what Medicare Part A & Part B cover. Many plans may also provide this coverage with low monthly premiums or $0 monthly premiums.

Even better, when you sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan, you will still have all of the rights and protections provided by the Medicare program. Your coverage is conveniently bundled in one plan.

What benefits does it offer?

So what kind of coverage can you expect from a Medicare Advantage plan that may have a $0 or low monthly premium?

The answer may surprise you. Medicare Advantage plan enrollees may have access to some or all of the following additional benefits:

• Prescription drug coverage
• Dental coverage
• Vision coverage
• Hearing coverage

Remember that these available benefits are in addition to the benefits that Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover for Medicare Part A & Part B.

It’s pretty clear why Medicare Advantage Plans appear to be the popular choice among Medicare enrollees. Are you ready to join the 33 million people who already have a plan?⁴
