Best Medicare Advantage Plans For 2024

Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Part C, is a popular form of health insurance coverage for U.S. adults age 65 and older. But picking the right plan can be complicated—nationwide, insurance providers offer a total of 8,676 different Medicare Advantage plans for 2024, and finding the right insurance plan is highly personalized to the individual. Only by providing your ZIP code and demographic information can you see a list of plans for which you’re eligible, and even then, the average county maintains access to 287 plans.

While the best way to navigate this overwhelming task is to seek the assistance of an independent, agnostic health insurance agent, you can also start by zooming in on the health insurance companies that, generally, provide the best Medicare Advantage plans, based on factors like provider network size and additional benefits and coverage.

To determine the best Medicare Advantage providers, the Forbes Health editorial team evaluated U.S. insurance companies that offer plans nationwide by how many states they provide coverage in, the types of benefits they offer, how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) ranked their plans, how agencies like A.M. Best ranked them in terms of their financial health, how agencies like J.D. Power ranked them in terms of consumer feedback and more. Read on to see which providers made the list.
