Private Fee For Service

The Medicare Private Fee-For-Service (PFFS) Plan is a type of Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C). This type of MAPD plan typically allows you to see any doctor or hospital you could go to if you had Original Medicare, if the doctor or hospital agrees to treat you.

This plan will determine how much it will pay the doctors and hospitals, as well as how much you have to pay when you receive care.

PFFS is very different than Original Medicare.  You have to follow the plan rules very carefully when you need health care services. With PFFS, you may pay more or less for Medicare-covered benefits than in Original Medicare.
