Medicare beneficiaries currently have an option for how they would like to receive their Medicare benefits. They can either decide to receive benefits administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through the traditional Medicare program (Fee-for-Service or FFS) or by a private insurance company as a member of a health plan (e.g., HMO or PPO) that contracts with Medicare. This alternative private program is known as Medicare Advantage (MA).
