- Most plans bundle in Part D drug coverage and offer extras like dental, vision, hearing, and gym perks.
HMO Plans
- Must use in-network doctors & hospitals

*can delay care - Out-of-network care generally not covered
PPO Plans
- See any doctor—in-network (lower cost) or out-of-network (higher cost)

Cost Basics

What to Watch

- Understand how copays add up if you need frequent care
