  • Part B – Medical insurance that covers outpatient services, doctor visits, and preventive treatments.

Medicare Advantage (Part C) in Bonita Springs

Medicare Advantage plans are available from private insurance companies approved by Medicare, including Florida Blue. These plans combine coverage from both Medicare Part A and Part B, and many offer additional benefits such as:

  • Routine dental, vision, and hearing care
  • Prescription drug coverage (depending on plan)
  • Out-of-pocket cost caps to help manage expenses

Important: If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, all Medicare-covered services are handled by the private insurer, not through Original Medicare.
