Explanation:

Medicare Advantage Plans are a type of Medicare health plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide all your Part A and Part B benefits. Most Medicare Advantage Plans also offer prescription drug coverage as a part of the plan.

Medicare Advantage premiums vary depending on the type of plan and the state you live in. Monthly premiums range from $0 to the high $300s. But overall, average monthly premiums are usually lower than what you would pay for Medicare Part B*.
