Medicare Supplement plans, also called Medigap plans, are designed to work alongside Original Medicare. They can help pay some of the remaining costs after Medicare pays its approved share.

These plans typically have a monthly premium and may appeal to clients who prefer more predictable medical costs and the flexibility of Original Medicare. Prescription drug coverage is not included with Medicare Supplement plans, so many clients also review a standalone Prescription Drug Plan.
