Medicare At A Glance

Original Medicare is the traditional program offered directly through the federal government. It is available for individuals aged 65 and older, certain younger people with disabilities, and individuals with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Part A

Hospital Insurance

Covers inpatient hospital stays, care in a skilled nursing facility, hospice care, and some home health care.

Part B

Medical Insurance

Covers certain doctors' services, outpatient care, medical supplies, and preventive services.

Medigap Or Medicare Advantage?

A Medigap policy is different from a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C).

A Medicare Advantage Plan is another way to get your Medicare coverage besides Original Medicare.

A Medigap policy is a supplement to Original Medicare coverage.

When you’re getting started with Medicare, you can either buy Medigap or enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan, but you can’t have both.

Below is a comparison between the two options. (More factors can play into your discussion making)
