AARP Medicare Supplement plans are insured and sold by private insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare to help limit the out-of-pocket costs associated with Medicare Parts A and B. Supplement plans can help pay for some or all of the costs not covered by Original Medicare - things like coinsurance and deductibles.

What is the difference between Medicare and AARP Medicare Advantage? Original Medicare is a health insurance program run by the federal government, while AARP Medicare Advantage plans are maintained by a private insurance company (UnitedHealthcare).

If you are eligible for Medicare Parts A and B then you can be a part of UnitedHealthcare Group Medicare Advantage, a Medicare-contracted Health Maintenance Organization. UnitedHealthcare Group Medicare Advantage offers you a comprehensive health plan with no deductibles, and virtually no paperwork.
