When it comes to supplementing your Medicare plan, you have a few different options:

Medicare Supplement Plans (MediGap)Medicare Advantage Plans
Uses:Original Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) & Part B (Medical Insurance) as primary insurance. MediGap becomes secondary coverage to fill that 20% gap.Instead of original Medicare, you will receive Hospital and Medical insurance from a private company which doubles as both your primary AND secondary coverage.
Include Prescription Coverage?No – You MUST have minimal essential prescription coverage and will therefore need to also pick a Part D Plan.Most Plans – This is an “all-encompassing” plan comprising of parts A, B, & D.
Premiums:Yes – Known as the “Pay Up Front” system.Little to None – Known as the “Pay as You Go” system.
