We put the pieces together for your protection.
Choose Your Medicare Starting Point:
Part B (Medical Insurance)
-
The Big Idea: Covers doctor visits, tests, and outpatient care.
-
Cost: Standard premium is $202.90/month (in 2026 ).
-
The Gap: Medicare pays 80%. You are responsible for 20% with no limit. This is why a Supplement or Advantage plan is non-negotiable.
-
There are penalties for not taking Part B.
Choosing Your Path: Freedom vs. Budget
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
These plans cover the 20% gap that Original Medicare does not address. Although you'll pay higher monthly premium, your out-of-pocket costs could be nearly $0 after meeting your Part B deductible. You can choose any doctor in the U.S. who accepts Medicare. Claims are processed by Medicare first, usually with minimal prior authorizations, followed by the supplemental plan.
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
Private companies manage these plans, which typically feature $0 premiums and additional benefits such as dental, vision, and hearing coverage. In return, you must use a local network of providers and pay co-pays when accessing services. Your insurance company oversees your plan, resulting in higher number of Prior Authorization requests.
