Keep Original Medicare — and fill in the gaps.

Medigap works alongside Original Medicare, helping pay the deductibles and coinsurance Medicare doesn't. I'll help you see whether it fits how you use care.

How it works

Pairs with Original Medicare
You keep Part A and Part B, and the Medigap policy helps cover your share of the costs — deductibles, coinsurance, and copays.
See any doctor who takes Medicare
No networks. If a provider accepts Medicare, they accept your Medigap coverage — anywhere in the country.
Standardized coverage
Medigap plans are standardized by letter, so comparing them is mostly about price and service. I explain the differences in plain language.
Drug coverage is separate
Medigap doesn't include prescription drug coverage — most people pair it with a Part D plan.

Is it right for you?

Medigap tends to fit people who want predictable costs and full freedom to choose doctors. It usually carries a higher monthly premium than Medicare Advantage.

When you enroll matters, too: your strongest guaranteed rights come in the months around your Part B start date. We'll look at your timing, your budget, and how you use care — then compare the options side by side.

Common questions

What's the difference between Medigap and Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Advantage delivers your Medicare benefits through a private plan that usually includes drug coverage and often additional benefits. Medigap keeps Original Medicare in place and helps pay your share of costs, like deductibles and coinsurance. Both are established ways to structure your coverage — you can hold one or the other, never both at once.

When is the best time to enroll?

Many people apply in the months before their Part B effective date so coverage begins right on time. Your Medigap open enrollment period runs for six months from your Part B effective date — during that window, you have the strongest rights to buy a policy without health questions. It is worth a conversation before you decide.

Do Medigap plans cover prescriptions?

No. Prescription coverage comes from a separate Part D plan.

Is there a cost for your assistance?

No — there is never a monetary exchange between me and my clients. I earn my living through the carriers I'm contracted with.
