Understand the product
What it is, and how it works.
Start with the basics before comparing price, eligibility, and policy details.
How it works
Compare before you apply.
You must generally have Original Medicare Part A and Part B to buy a Medigap policy. You compare standardized plan options, premiums, and timing rules, then choose the plan that fits your needs and budget.
Why it matters
Original Medicare can still leave costs behind.
Medigap may help make healthcare costs more predictable by reducing certain deductibles, copays, or coinsurance. The right fit depends on your health needs, budget, location, and enrollment timing.

Is Medicare Supplement the same as Medicare Advantage?
No. Medicare Supplement works with Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage is a different way to receive Medicare benefits.
What does Medigap help pay for?
It can help with certain out-of-pocket costs from Original Medicare, such as deductibles, copays, or coinsurance, depending on the plan.
Do I still need prescription drug coverage?
Medigap generally does not include Part D prescription drug coverage. You may need to review a separate drug plan.

Timing matters. Many people review options when first eligible for Medicare, but other situations may also create opportunities.
