UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage

What is UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage?

UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage is a type of Medicare health insurance plan that is offered by UnitedHealthcare. These plans are available to people who are eligible for Medicare, which is a federal health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, or who have certain disabilities.

Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies, and they provide a different way to get Medicare benefits. With a Medicare Advantage plan, you will receive your Medicare benefits through the private insurance company, rather than through the government.
