What does Medicare Part C cover?

• A. Original Medicare only
• B. Medicare Advantage plans with additional benefits, including preventive care
• C. Prescription drug coverage only
• D. Vision and dental coverage only

Answer: (B)

Medicare Part C refers to Medicare Advantage—the private-plan option that bundles the benefits of Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and typically adds extra features. These plans are run by private insurers approved by Medicare and often include prescription drug coverage and benefits beyond the basics, such as preventive care, vision, dental, and sometimes hearing. The best answer describes Part C as Medicare Advantage plans with additional benefits, including preventive care. The other choices miss the concept: Original Medicare alone is not Part C; Part C isn’t limited to prescription drug coverage only; and while vision and dental may be included, they aren’t the sole or exclusive focus of Part C.
