Medicare Advantage (Part C)

Offers an all-in-one alternative, often with extras like dental, vision, fitness, and drug coverage. Plans use networks (HMO/PPO) and typically include copays.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap)

Helps pay the "gaps" in Original Medicare (like deductibles and coinsurance) while letting you see any provider who accepts Medicare.

Prescription Drug Plans (Part D)

Provide medication coverage if you stay with Original Medicare or choose an Advantage plan without built-in drug benefits.

Choosing Between Medigap + Part D or Advantage

There's no one "best" plan-there's a best fit. If keeping your doctors across the North Shore and South Shore matters most, Medigap may appeal. If a single card with extras and managed costs is your goal, Advantage could be right. Gail Siemer Insurance helps you weigh premiums, copays, and pharmacy networks around Melville, Huntington, and Babylon.

Common Medicare Questions, Answered

  • What's the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement?

    Advantage bundles benefits with networks and copays; Supplement pairs with Original Medicare to reduce out-of-pocket costs and offers nationwide provider flexibility.

  • Do I need a Part D plan?

    Yes, if you want drug coverage and your Advantage plan doesn't include it. Staying on Original Medicare without drug coverage can lead to penalties later.

  • How do I enroll or change plans?

    Initial enrollment begins around your 65th birthday. Each fall, Annual Enrollment lets most people review and switch plans. Special periods may apply after qualifying life events.
