Sorry, but not “wrong”. Instead of Google I checked with the source, CMS. Here’s a fact sheet (here) that compares traditional Medicare with Medicare Advantage. Here is the comparison of coverage:wrong ,,, did you read the links.
did you google it ?
in theory they are supposed to but YOU DONT HAVE GOVT MEDICARE to say when you are denied what govt medicare would have allowed in your case .
not everything is black and white . i witnessed it first hand
many things if you google it are denied , yet the problem is you can’t say what government medicare would have done .
that is why law makers are trying to get this corrected fully .so far no luck on a wide scale of having one central gate keeper for both.
saying we cover the same things is only in theory until they don’t and the advantage plan gate keepers deny you.
hospitals are seeing way more denials from advantage plans then govt medicare
Medicare
Medicare AdvantageOriginal Medicare covers most medically necessary services and supplies in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other health care facilities. Original Medicare doesn’t cover some benefits like eye exams, most dental care, and routine exams.
Plans must cover all medically necessary services that Original Medicare covers. Plans may also offer some extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn't cover - like certain vision, hearing, and dental services.
I’m not advocating for Medicare Advantage. It does have shortcomings, but we should try to keep it fact based.
