Medicare Supplement insurance, also called Medigap, works with Original Medicare to help pay certain Medicare-approved out-of-pocket costs. Policies are sold by private insurance companies, and standardized benefits for the same plan letter are generally the same while premiums and underwriting rules can differ by insurer and situation.

A Medicare Supplement policy does not include outpatient prescription drug coverage. People who use Original Medicare with Medigap commonly consider a separate Medicare Part D plan when they need prescription drug coverage. Enrollment protections are strongest during the federal Medigap Open Enrollment Period and in certain guaranteed-issue situations.

Medicare Advantage, also called Part C, is an alternative way to receive Medicare-covered Part A and Part B benefits through a private plan approved by Medicare. Plans may include prescription drug coverage and additional benefits, but costs, service areas, provider networks, and plan rules vary.

Part D plans use formularies that can differ by plan. Reviewing your medications, preferred pharmacies, premiums, deductibles, and cost-sharing helps you compare prescription drug coverage based on your own needs. Medicare's Plan Finder can help compare plans using your medications and preferred pharmacies.

Your Initial Enrollment Period is an important time to understand Medicare choices. You can also review Medicare Advantage and Part D coverage during the Annual Enrollment Period, which runs from October 15 through December 7 each year.
