A Medicare Supplement insurance plan helps cover the “gaps” in coverage that are left unpaid after Original Medicare pays its portion of your health care expenses. For this reason, these plans are often referred to as Medigap plans. Unlike a Medicare Advantage plan, which replaces your Original Medicare benefits, a Medicare Supplement plan is purchased in addition to your Original Medicare benefits.
