Medicare Supplement Insurance is an insurance you can buy from a private health insurance company to help pay your share of out-of-pocket costs in Original Medicare (the traditional fee-for-service program that is Parts A & B). Generally, you must have Original Medicare (Part A - Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) to buy a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy.
Medicare Supplement might be good for Medicare-eligible persons who:
Like to choose their own doctors and hospitals
Often travel
Do not want any co-pays (available on select plans)
