Is Medicare Advantage the same as Medigap?
No. Medicare Advantage provides Medicare benefits through a private plan. Medigap is designed to help with certain cost sharing under Original Medicare. Eligibility and enrollment rules differ.
Can I change coverage at any time?
Not generally. Different initial, annual, open and special enrollment periods may apply. Confirm your individual circumstances with Medicare or an authorized professional.
