Medicare Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) Plan

« Back to Glossary Index

A type of Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C) in which you can generally go to any doctor or

hospital you could go to if you had Original Medicare, if the doctor or hospital agrees to treat

you. The plan determines how much it will pay doctors and hospitals, and how much you must

pay when you get care.

A Private Fee-For-Service Plan is very different from Original Medicare, and you must follow the

plan rules carefully when you go for health care services. When you’re in a Private

Fee-For-Service Plan, you may pay more or less for Medicare-covered benefits than in Original

Medicare.
