What is a $0 premium Medicare Advantage plan, and what's the catch?
Answered by 1 licensed agent
A $0 premium Medicare Advantage plan means you don’t pay a monthly premium to the insurance company for that plan. The ‘catch’ is you pay as you go instead: copays, coinsurance, and deductibles when you actually use care, and you have to follow that plan’s network and rules. However, this is also true if you have a premium for said policy. Some people like that trade‑off, some don’t, so it’s really about whether the plan’s copays and doctors fit how you actually use healthcare.
