 Less often, hearing and wellness benefits not found in Original Medicare are included in a Medicare Advantage plan.Some Part C plans waive the antiquated "three-day rule" of Medicare Part A (since it makes no medical sense and costs less in multiple ways to more quickly move a patient to rehab, the primary reason for admission to a skilled nursing facility under Medicare Part A)

In addition Medicare Advantage plans may cover benefits in a different way.For example, plans that require higher out-of-pocket costs than Medicare Parts A or B for some benefits, such as skilled nursing facility care, might offer lower copayments for doctor visits to balance their benefits package.
