Medicare Advantage vs. Medigap: Understanding the Differences

Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans are different ways to receive help with Medicare costs. The right option depends on your health needs, budget, preferred doctors, prescriptions, and travel plans.

Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurers approved by Medicare. They generally combine Part A and Part B coverage and may include prescription drug coverage and additional benefits. Plan networks, costs, and benefits can vary.

Medigap policies work alongside Original Medicare and can help pay certain out-of-pocket costs. Availability, premiums, and covered benefits vary by plan and carrier.
