Should Cancer Patients Consider Switching to Medicare Advantage Plans?

When managing a cancer diagnosis, choosing the right health coverage is crucial. Medicare Advantage (MA) plans can offer benefits like lower premiums, additional services (e.g., dental, vision), and a cap on annual out-of-pocket expenses. However, these plans also come with challenges, such as restricted provider networks, potential delays due to prior authorizations, and higher out-of-pocket costs for frequent treatments like chemotherapy.

Before switching to a Medicare Advantage plan, consider these key questions:

  • Are your oncologists and treatment centers in the plan’s network?

  • Does the plan cover your prescriptions affordably?

  • Will your total out-of-pocket costs (e.g., copays and coinsurance) fit your budget?

While Medicare Advantage plans can work for some cancer patients, others may find Original Medicare with a Medigap plan offers better access to specialized care and more predictable costs. Consult with a Medicare expert or your oncology team to determine the best choice for your situation.

Your health and peace of mind are worth the research!
