Medicare Coverage Explained

Original Medicare

Federal Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical). You can see any provider that accepts Medicare, but there's no yearly out-of-pocket cap on its own.

Medigap (Medicare Supplement)

A private policy that pairs with Original Medicare to cover most of what it doesn't — predictable costs and nationwide doctor freedom for a monthly premium.

Medicare Advantage (Part C)

An all-in-one private plan that bundles Parts A, B, and usually D, often with extras like dental and vision — with networks, copays, and a yearly out-of-pocket cap.

Part D

Prescription drug coverage, either standalone or built into a Medicare Advantage plan. Enrolling on time avoids a lifetime late penalty.

Extra Help

A federal program that lowers Part D drug costs for people with limited income and resources.

Dual Eligible Plans (D-SNP)

Special plans for people with both Medicare and Medicaid that often add benefits like grocery/OTC cards, transportation, and dental at very low cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Medicare plan is best?
There is no single best plan — the right fit depends on your doctors, prescriptions, budget, travel, and whether you qualify for extra help. This quiz points you toward options to compare and discuss.
Should I choose Medigap or Medicare Advantage?
Medigap (with Original Medicare) offers predictable costs and any-doctor freedom for a higher premium. Medicare Advantage bundles benefits with low premiums but uses networks and copays. The best choice depends on your priorities.
Do I need prescription drug coverage?
Most people should have Part D drug coverage — either built into a Medicare Advantage plan or as a standalone plan — to avoid a lifetime late-enrollment penalty, even if you take few medications now.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. You can change plans during the Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 – December 7) each year, and Special Enrollment Periods may apply after certain life events.
