Medicare Advantage VS Medicare Supplement

Medigap (Medicare Supplement) vs Medicare Advantage

Without question, Original Medicare with a Medigap (Medicare Supplement) plan gives you very comprehensive coverage. The primary differences are that with Medigap (Medicare Supplement) plans, you can see any doctor that accepts Medicare. You don't have to ask your doctors if they take your specific Medigap (Medicare Supplement)   insurance company. The network is Medicare, which has over 1 million contracted providers across the nation.

​

However, Medicare advantage plans  include Part D coverage, so you will not have to buy a separate Part D policy. They also offer dental, vision and hearing and come with a much more affordable premium.

​

Again, there is no right or wrong. The two types of coverage just work differently.  Go with the option that feels right for you.
