Medicare Supplement

  • Medicare Supplement plans, also known as Medigap plans, are sold by private insurance companies to help cover out-of-pocket costs associated with Original Medicare (Parts A and B). 

  • These plans help pay for costs like coinsurance, copays, and some deductibles.

  • Additional riders can help cover emergency medical coverage when leaving the U.S., Part B Excess Fees and Additional Home Health Care.

  • While Medigap plans don't include prescription drug coverage, you can purchase a separate Part D plan for your medications

Medicare Advantage

  • Medicare Advantage plans, also known as Part C, are offered by private companies approved by Medicare. They provide an alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and many plans include prescription drug coverage (Part D). 

  • These plans bundle together hospital, medical, and often prescription drug coverage, potentially offering extra benefits not found in Original Medicare such as Dental and Routine Vision.
