Protecting What's In Your Pocket
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Extra insurance you can buy to help pay the medical costs that Original Medicare (Parts A & B) doesn’t fully cover. Medigap helps pay out-of-pocket costs such as:
- Copayments
- Coinsurance
- Deductibles
- The 20% Medicare doesn't cover
Pros: Use any doctor who takes Medicare
Cons: Higher monthly premiums compared to Part C but little to no costs when you utilize services
VS
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
All‑in‑one plans offered by private insurance companies that contract with Medicare. When you join a Part C plan, it becomes your primary Medicare coverage instead of Original Medicare (Parts A & B). Medicare Advantage usually includes:
- Hospital coverage (what Part A normally covers)
- Medical coverage (what Part B normally covers)
- Prescription drug coverage (many plans include Part D)
- Extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, such as:
- Dental
- Vision
- Hearing
- Gym or wellness programs
Transportation to appointments (varies by plan)
Pros: Think of it as a package deal - all in one convenience. Low or $0 monthly premiums
Cons: Deductibles, copays, coinsurance, annual out-of-pocket maximum, typically must use in-network providers and may be required to get referrals
