Smarter Coverage, More Benefits—Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Part C, offer more than just the basics. At SSM Insurance Solutions in San Antonio, FL, we help you discover Medicare Advantage plans that combine hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage—all in one plan. These plans are offered by private insurers approved by Medicare and may include extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, transportation, and fitness programs.

Our team walks you through the available options, ensuring the coverage you choose fits your health needs and your budget. We simplify the process by comparing plans side-by-side so you understand premiums, provider networks, and out-of-pocket limits.

Understanding the Basics: Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage

Original Medicare (Parts A & B)

Original Medicare includes Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) coverage. It’s managed by the federal government and allows access to any provider that accepts Medicare nationwide, without referrals.

Medicare Advantage (Part C)

Medicare Advantage combines Parts A and B, often including drug, dental, and vision benefits. Offered by private insurers, these plans may have lower premiums but require using in-network providers for coverage.

Prescription Drug Coverage

Original Medicare requires a separate Part D plan for prescriptions, which adds extra cost. Most Medicare Advantage plans include built-in drug coverage, offering convenience with one combined plan and coordinated benefits.

Provider Flexibility

Original Medicare allows you to visit any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans may require you to use network providers and get referrals, depending on the plan type selected.

Medicare Gaps? We've Got You Covered

These plans also step in when Medicare stops short, giving you extended coverage that can protect your savings. We help you compare Medigap plans side-by-side so you understand what’s included and what’s not. Whether you need coverage for recurring services or simply want the confidence of knowing you’re protected, we help make sense of the fine print.
