Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medicare Supplement (Medigap) are different types of Medicare plans. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies and provide all your Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) coverage, often with additional benefits like prescription drug coverage.

Part B also covers durable medical equipment, like wheelchairs or walkers, and some mental health services. There is a monthly premium for Part B coverage.

Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, is an alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. Part C plans must cover everything that Original Medicare covers (except hospice care, which is still covered under Part A), and many plans offer additional benefits such as vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage.

Part D plans vary in cost and coverage, but all must meet the standard set by Medicare, providing access to a wide range of prescription drugs.
