Also with an advantage plan you have co-pays which you don't have with medicare and a supplement.
I have co-pays with a retiree Medicare plus Aetna supplement. Every plan is different.

@BLH I have had my Medicare Advantage Plan for ten years. I have no co pays at my Doctor. If I go out of network then there is a co pay.

They have to reduce their fees to the amount Medicare allows which is a huge reduction on some procedures.

I have a Medicare Advantage plan; no deductible but an out-of -pocket maximum. Will be switching to United from Humana in Jan. Before that it was Aetna. My pension administrator has switched us three times in the past five years. Hate getting familiar with a plan and then being moved. If anyone tells you all Medicare plans are the same, I know that is so not true!

To my knowledge, there is no deductible when it come to Medicare itself.

I have Medicare traditional and pay 350 deductible each year. Some of the Advantage plans have no deductible.

My Medicare has $198 yearly deductible. This varies widely by state. All the Advantage plans I checked out in my area have huge deductibles, though most had no premiums.

The medicare deductible is federal and the same in every state. What is different is the supplemental plans that are offered to work in conjunction with medicare. You need to go over what is offered in your state and prices for the various options. There are various deductibles, co-pays/no co-pays, etc.
