Medicare is a federal program that offers standard hospital (Part A) and medical (Part B) coverage, while Medicare Advantage (Part C) is provided by private insurers, combining Parts A and B with potential extra benefits like prescription drug coverage. Medicare offers more provider choice but lacks additional benefits, while Medicare Advantage plans have network restrictions and additional perks but require premiums and copayments.
