# Medicare Advantage Ideon's API delivers quotes for Medicare Advantage and Part D benefits through the Medicare Advantage Plan Search endpoint ([API docs](https://docs.ideonapi.com/#medicare-advantage-plans-medicare-advantage-plans-post)). In our documentation and Postman Collections, Medicare Advantage quoting will commonly be referred to as "MedAdv Quoting". The recommended integration flow is identical to [ACA Medical](/quote-and-select/quote-individuals/aca-medical.md) - please refer to this section for integration tips. ## Medicare Advantage Benefits Development of a complete Medicare Advantage benefit grammar guide is in progress. For now, please refer to the [Medical Grammar Guide](/quote-and-select/additional-information-and-workflows/benefit-grammar-guides/medical.md) for high-level information on grammar standardization for cost shares and some shared metadata fields. A note on identifiers: Medicare Advantage plans have two unique identifiers returned in the benefits schema. The `id` field is an Ideon identifier unique to the given plan. The `value` in the `identifiers` array associated with `"type": "medicare_plan_id"` - for example, H0523-022-0 - is the carrier plan identifier, unique to the given plan year. This is made up of the carrier contract/bid ID, plan ID, and segment ID. ## Decision Support Features For both Individual Medical and Medicare Advantage quoting, provider and drug details can be included to check for in-network and formulary coverage within each plan. See the following sections for details on these use cases. * [Shop by Doc](/quote-and-select/quote-individuals/shop-by-doc.md) - check network participation for selected providers and optionally, their addresses, for each plan quoted. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
