True or False: Medicare Advantage plans must cover all the services that Original Medicare covers.

Medicare Advantage plans are required to cover all services that Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) includes. This encompasses essential hospital services, outpatient care, preventive services, and other medically necessary treatments. However, Medicare Advantage plans can include additional benefits that are not part of Original Medicare, such as vision, dental, and wellness programs.

The requirement for these plans to provide at least the same level of coverage as Original Medicare ensures that enrollees maintain access to essential healthcare services. This standardization helps protect consumers by guaranteeing that they won't lose necessary coverage by choosing a Medicare Advantage plan. While these plans may also impose different cost-sharing structures or network restrictions, the fundamental coverage requirements remain aligned with those of Original Medicare.

The other options suggest varying degrees of coverage or uncertainty, which do not accurately reflect the foundational requirement for Medicare Advantage plans.
