Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage, also known as Part C or MA Plans, is a Medicare health plan option that offers an alternative to Original Medicare. It's a private company-offered plan that bundles Part A (Hospital Insurance), Part B (Medical Insurance), and usually Part D (Prescription Drug Coverage) into one plan.

Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap, is a private health insurance policy that helps cover out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover. Medigap can help pay for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.
