Are Medicare Advantage Plans Bad? This Fresh, New Book Tells All. On his warpath to transparency, Bynon released his first book, "Why Medicare Advantage Plans are Bad", in a new Amazon.com series called "Survive Medicare". Medicare Advantage is an option to traditional Medicare, which has two parts. If you love the details, "Why Medicare Advantage Plans are Bad" explains how Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover all of the same benefits as Medicare Part A and Part B, but the government allows them to cover the benefits differently. According to a recent Kaiser Famly Foundation report, nearly half of all Medicare Advantage plan members would pay more for a short hospital inpatient stay than people with Original Medicare and no additional coverage. People who join a Medicare Advantage plan must continue to pay their Medicare Part B monthly premiums. If you join a Medicare Advantage plan for the first time, Medicare grants you a trial right that allows you to go back to Original Medicare and buy a Medigap policy with limited Medigap protections. Unlike Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage has a maximum out-of-pocket limit. The book's author covers this component of Medicare Advantage in detail, explaining how most people with Original Medicare and a Medigap policy are likely to pay less overall. Another stark difference between the two coverage methods is how easy it is to compare Medicare Supplement coverage and how difficult it is to compare Medicare Advantage plans. Bynon is quick to point out that people who can qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid should be in a Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plan where available, regardless of their health status.
