Selecting the right health insurance plan is one of the most important decisions you make each year. If you live in Tamarac or anywhere else in Broward County, you have more choices than just Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans—also called Medicare Part C—offer a convenient alternative, often with added benefits. Our local team at Absolute Best Insurance is here to help you navigate your options and find the plan that truly fits your needs.
We’re excited to share that Absolute Best Insurance has a new office located in Kings Point Plaza, right here in Tamarac. This means you can meet face-to-face with a licensed Medicare insurance agent who understands the local community and healthcare network. Whether you’re in Heathgate, Westwood, or Flats on the Green, our team can guide you through your options—in person, over the phone, or even in your own home.
What Is Medicare Part C?
Medicare Part C is an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare, offered by private insurance companies that are approved by Medicare. By law, these plans must provide the same basic coverage as Original Medicare, but many go further—adding extras such as dental insurance, vision coverage, hearing aid benefits, prescription drug plans (Medicare Part D), and wellness programs.
Types of Medicare Advantage Plans Available in Tamarac
Most Medicare Advantage plans in Broward County fall into a few main categories. Here’s an overview of the most common options:
1. Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
An HMO plan requires you to use a network of doctors, hospitals, and specialists. You’ll typically need a referral from your primary care physician to see a specialist. These plans often offer lower monthly premiums and reduced out-of-pocket costs, plus extra benefits like routine dental and vision care.
2. Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
A PPO plan offers greater flexibility. You can see both in-network and out-of-network providers, but you’ll save money by staying in-network. PPOs are a good choice for those who want more provider options without needing referrals.
3. Special Needs Plans (SNPs)
Special Needs Plans are designed for people with specific chronic conditions or certain financial qualifications. They provide customized benefits, coordinated care, and access to specialists who understand your ongoing medical needs.
4. Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS)
PFFS plans determine how much they will pay providers and how much you will owe for services. Not all doctors or hospitals accept PFFS plans, so it’s important to confirm participation before receiving care.
5. Medical Savings Account (MSA) Plans
An MSA plan combines a high-deductible health insurance plan with a savings account. Each year, your plan deposits money into your account, which you can use for qualified medical expenses. These plans do not include prescription drug coverage, so you may need to add a separate Part D plan.
