Step 2: Decide if you want prescription drug coverage (Part D)

expand iconYou choose Original Medicare.

expand iconYou choose a Medicare Advantage Plan.

Step 3: Decide if you want supplemental coverage (Original Medicare only)

You may want to get coverage that fills gaps in Original Medicare coverage. You can choose to buy a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy from a private company.

• Costs vary by policy and company.
• Employers/unions may offer similar coverage.

Note

If you join a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can't useMedicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) to pay for out-of-pocket costs you have in a Medicare Advantage Plan. If you already have a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can't be sold a Medigap policy. You can only use a Medigap policy if you disenroll from your Medicare Advantage Plan and return to Original Medicare.
