Medicare Part C is also called what?

• A. Medicare Part D.
• B. Medicare Advantage Plans.
• C. Medicare Part A plus B combo.
• D. Medicare Premium Support.

Answer: (B)

Medicare Part C refers to plans offered by private insurers that provide all Part A and Part B benefits, but under a private plan name: Medicare Advantage Plans. These plans bundle the hospital and medical coverage of Original Medicare and often add extra benefits, sometimes including prescription drug coverage, and they operate as an alternative to Original Medicare rather than as a separate program. The other options map to different parts or concepts: Part D is prescription drug coverage, Original Medicare is Part A plus Part B, and Premium Support is a policy concept, not the official name for Part C.
