Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service Plans: What Privatization Means for Today's Beneficiaries
Abstract
Originally solely a government-administered program, Medicare is now offering options involving private insurers. Private fee-for-service plans may offer additional benefits and lower out-of-pocket costs. These plans are expected to have lower administrative costs, but currently require a government subsidy. Advantages and disadvantages of such plans are discussed, and examples showing detailed cost comparisons of two plans, SmartValue Classic and Humana Gold Choice, are given.
