You'll recognize yourself in at least one of these.
You just moved to Canyon Lake and your old plan doesn't cover your new doctor
Provider networks change block by block. We'll find an Advantage plan that includes your new primary care, specialists, and the closest New Braunfels-area hospital system.
Your $0-premium plan is quietly costing you $4,000 a year
Low premium ≠ low cost. When we run your prescriptions and typical care through the plan's copay structure, the real annual number often surprises people. Sometimes for better. Sometimes for worse.
You want dental, vision, and hearing included — not sold separately
Most Advantage plans bundle DVH, gym, OTC allowances, and other extras. But the fine print matters. We compare what's actually covered, not just what's advertised.
You keep getting mail and TV ads for random Medicare plans
You don't need a celebrity spokesperson. You need someone who runs the actual math on your Zip code, your doctors, and your prescriptions — and then hands you the plan comparison in writing.
How Medicare Advantage actually works.
Medicare Advantage is offered by private insurance carriers approved by Medicare. When you enroll, you're still on Medicare — but your benefits are administered through the private plan instead of Original Medicare.
What's included
All Advantage plans cover the same core Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) benefits Original Medicare provides. Most also include Part D prescription drug coverage and add extras: dental, vision, hearing, fitness memberships, OTC allowances, and sometimes transportation.
How you use it
Most plans in New Braunfels are HMO or PPO, meaning they use a network. HMOs typically require a primary care doctor and referrals for specialists. PPOs give you more flexibility to see out-of-network providers at a higher cost. Your out-of-pocket is capped by an annual maximum — a real safety net Original Medicare alone doesn't have.
What to watch for
Networks and drug formularies change every January. A plan that was perfect this year might drop your specialist or your medication next year. That's why annual review isn't optional — it's the job.

Answers before you ask
01What is a Medicare Advantage plan in New Braunfels?
Medicare Advantage (Part C) is a private plan that replaces Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and usually includes Part D prescription drug coverage. Most Advantage plans available in New Braunfels are HMO or PPO — meaning they rely on a network of local doctors and hospitals in Comal County and the Texas Hill Country.
02Do Medicare Advantage plans cost anything?
Many Advantage plans in New Braunfels offer $0 monthly premiums, but that doesn't mean $0 out of pocket. You'll still pay your Part B premium and can face copays for doctor visits, specialists, and hospital stays. We compare total expected annual cost — not just premium.
03Will my current doctors accept Medicare Advantage?
Only if they're in the plan's network. Before you enroll, I verify each of your providers against the plan's directory — hospitals, primary care, specialists, and even preferred pharmacies. Networks change every January, so this matters every year.
04What extras are included with Advantage plans?
Most bundle dental, vision, hearing, gym memberships (SilverSneakers), OTC allowances, and sometimes transportation to appointments. The specifics vary widely — a $150/year dental allowance is very different from comprehensive dental coverage.
05Can I switch Medicare Advantage plans if I don't like it?
Yes. During the Annual Enrollment Period (Oct 15 – Dec 7) you can change plans for the following year. There's also a Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (Jan 1 – Mar 31) that lets you make one change or switch back to Original Medicare.
06What happens if I travel outside of Texas with an Advantage plan?
HMOs typically only cover emergency care outside the network. PPOs give you some out-of-network coverage but at higher cost. If you travel frequently or spend part of the year out of state, we may look at a Medicare Supplement instead.
07Are Medicare Advantage plans changing in Comal County?
Every year. Carriers add and drop plans, adjust networks with local hospitals, and modify drug formularies. I re-shop every client's plan every Fall so you're not stuck on last year's decision.
