Original Medicare benefits

Parts A and B form the foundation of Medicare coverage. Together they cover most hospital and medical services.

Prescription drug benefits

Part D adds prescription drug coverage. It can be a stand-alone plan or bundled into Medicare Advantage.

Medicare Advantage benefits

Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans must cover everything Original Medicare covers — and most offer extra benefits at no added premium.

Medigap (Medicare Supplement) benefits

Medigap plans fill the cost gaps Original Medicare leaves — like deductibles, coinsurance, and copays.
