Otherwise it depends on where you live or even what county you live in. I have BCBS of Michigan Medicare Advantage PPO. So does my husband. I pay $0 per month and get dental, vision & hearing .Part D prescriptions are also part of it. It also comes with an over the counter (products) card that is reloaded quarterly. My husband just got a crown that was fully covered. All our docs take our insurance. It sounds like a gamble between regular Medicare and MA. I picked this plan because it was similar to the one I had through work.
