On the other hand, Medicare advantage plans work exactly like your corporate plan did when you were working and you have to stay in network dentist. If you go out of network, you get charged additional monies. If it's a PPO or POS plan HMO plans, you must stay in network or you don't have any other coverage

On the other hand, Med Sup Plans do not function this way. There are no "Coordinated Care" formats to adhere to, a beneficiary is free to see any physician that accepts Medicare and most do.
So, this is a very basic distinction between the two. Both have "pros and cons", it really means that you should get an accurate understanding of how each work. Then you will have to decide which will work best for you.
