Comparing Original Medicare, Medigap and Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage is another way to receive your Medicare Part A and Part B benefits through a Medicare-approved private plan. Medigap supplements certain costs under Original Medicare; it does not supplement Medicare Advantage. Compare premiums, total out-of-pocket exposure, provider access, prescription coverage and plan rules. You generally continue paying the Part B premium with Medicare Advantage. Enrollment opportunities and Medigap protections depend on your circumstances and applicable rules. Review your options with a licensed agent and Medicare.gov before changing coverage.
