Mr. Olsen is concerned that a Medicare Advantage plan will not cover the same range of services that would be covered under Original fee-for-service Medicare. What should you tell him? a. Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover services mandated under health care reform and applicable state law, which may differ from the Original Medicare package of benefits.
b. Though their cost-sharing may differ from Original Medicare’s, Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover all services covered by original Medicare.
c. Medicare Advantage plans are required to create a benefits package that results in roughly equivalent costs and may exclude coverage for some items and services that are covered under Part A and/or Part B of Original Medicare.
d. Medicare Advantage plans differ from Original Medicare in that they are required to cover any service ordered by a physician.
