Medicare Advantage plans [offered through UnitedHealthcare] offer all of the benefits
covered under Original Medicare and more. Many plans also include Medicare Part D
prescription drug coverage. Depending on residency, there may be several Medicare
Advantage plans from which to choose, including HMO, POS, PPO, and PFFS plans.

• Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans enable members to receive care
  through a network of contracted local doctors and hospitals that coordinate their care.
  Out-of-pocket costs may be lower for these plans than for other plans. Some plans do
  not require referrals for specialty care.
• Point-of-Service (POS) plans include all of the features of HMO plans plus the ability to
  go outside the contracted network for certain health care services, typically at a higher
  cost. Some POS plans offer open access to providers with no referrals needed.
• Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans give members access to a network of
  contracted local doctors and hospitals but also allow them the flexibility to seek covered
  services from physicians or hospitals outside of the contracted network, typically at a
  higher cost. Members do not need a referral for specialty care.
• Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) plans give members the freedom to receive care from
  any Medicare-approved provider who agrees to accept the plan’s terms and conditions
  of payment. Referrals are not needed for specialty care.

Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans [offered through UnitedHealthcare] provide
health care coverage for people with a qualifying chronic condition, those who reside in a
contracted skilled nursing or assisted living facility or those who qualify for both Medicare
and Medicaid (also referred to as “dual eligible”).

Medicare Supplement Insurance plans are offered to those enrolled in Medicare Parts A
and B. These plans may provide more freedom to choose doctors and hospitals and to see
specialists without referrals. Medicare supplement insurance plans also offer nationwide
coverage.

Medicare Part D plans [offered through UnitedHealthcare] are available in all 50 states and
the five U.S. territories. These plans provide a way to add drug coverage to Original
Medicare or Medicare Supplement Insurance coverage.
