Medicare Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) Plan

A Medicare Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) Plan is a type of Medicare Advantage plan that allows beneficiaries to receive healthcare services from any Medicare-approved provider who accepts the plan’s payment terms and conditions. PFFS plans determine how much they will pay healthcare providers and how much the beneficiary is responsible for paying. These plans may or may not have a network of preferred providers, and beneficiaries have the flexibility to choose their healthcare providers as long as they accept the plan’s terms. PFFS plans may offer additional benefits beyond Original Medicare, such as prescription drug coverage (Part D) and extra services like dental or vision care. Enrollment in a PFFS plan may require beneficiaries to pay a monthly premium, deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments for covered services. PFFS plans aim to provide flexibility and choice in accessing healthcare services while offering comprehensive coverage options to Medicare beneficiaries.
