Overview: This white paper examines the history of Medicare Advantage, regional Medicare Advantage PPOs, local Medicare Advantage plans, participation and enrollment, benefits and premiums, and Medicare Advantage facts-at-a-glance. The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) expands the existing options available to Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in private health plans. The MMA expanded the program with the establishment of a new regional contracting option for health plans, called Medicare Advantage regional plans. Local Medicare Advantage plans serve individual counties and groups of counties, whereas regional PPOs will bid to serve an entire region - which may be a state or multi-state area. Both local and regional plans must provide all original Medicare benefits.
