Medicare Advantage is a replacement for traditional Medicare. The insurance company is paid directly by the government and assumes the risk for covering your care. By managing utilization and quality they typically can provide more benefits for the same or lesser cost than Medsup plans. The trade-off is that you agree to receive care in a limited network (like the Villages healthcare system). If you are happy with staying in the network it is a good choice but you can't have both...expanded benefits and unlimited choice of providers.
