Medicare Part C, also called Medicare Advantage, is a private health plan that provides Medicare enrollees with coverage for Parts A (hospital insurance) and B (medical insurance). Most of the plans also include prescription drug coverage, which is known as Part D. The federal government contributes funds to the Medicare Advantage plans, which also collect premiums from enrollees.394
