Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage: What’s the Difference?
Understanding your Medicare coverage is crucial to accessing the care you need. Here’s how the two types of Medicare differ:
✅ Medicare (Original Medicare – Part A & Part B): This is the federal health insurance program for seniors and certain individuals with disabilities. If you have Medicare Part B, your in-home wound care services with Reneuvia are likely covered.
❌ Medicare Advantage (Part C): This is a private insurance plan that replaces traditional Medicare. While these plans offer additional benefits, they often have different provider networks and coverage limitations. Unfortunately, Reneuvia’s services are not covered under Medicare Advantage plans.
How Reneuvia Helps You Heal
Not sure whether you have Medicare or Medicare Advantage? Follow these simple steps:
- Check Your Medicare Card – If your card says “Medicare” and lists Part A and/or Part B, you have Original Medicare. If it shows the name of a private insurance company, you likely have Medicare Advantage.
- Review Your Monthly Statements – Look at your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) or Summary Notice. If your plan lists a private insurer, it’s Medicare Advantage.
- Call Medicare Directly – You can confirm your coverage by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
- Contact Your Insurance Provider – If you’re still unsure, reach out to your insurance company to ask whether you have traditional Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan.
