What Is Original Medicare + Medigap Coverage?

Written By William Pierce

Adds supplemental coverage from a private insurer to Original Medicare.

This option might be good for you if:

  • You want coverage to help fill the gaps in Original Medicare.

  • You want to be able to see any provider that accepts Medicare.

Keep in mind

  • Prescription drug coverage is not included.

  • There are usually no extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing and wellness.

  • You will pay a separate premium to a private insurance company for your Medigap coverage.
