Medicare Eligibility Part C

Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage, formerly Medicare + Choice)

A person must be entitled to coverage under Medicare Part A and be enrolled in Medicare Part B in order to be eligible for coverage under Medicare Part C.  A person with end-stage renal disease is not entitled to enroll in Medicare Part C. However, an insured under Medicare Part C may not be denied coverage solely because he or she develops end-stage renal disease.  Joining a Medicare Part C plan requires premium payment for Part B as well as any premium required for additional benefits provided through the Medicare Part C plan.
