Doesn't Medicare Advantage do the same thing as Medigap?

Yeah.....no. Actually, not even close.

I got this question in my office the other day, and I wanted to help, because this is a big decision.

Advantage plans might leave some pretty big bills for your loved ones. Here's an option to consider

Everyones perscription drug mix is different, Part D perscription drug coverage is not a "One-size fits all" choice. So why does an Advantage plan offer just one choice in drug coverage? To meet the needs of the largest number of beneficiaries, of course! If you choose a Part C Advantage plan, you have to take the drug plan that is attached to it. Period.

So what is the solution to that? Go in a different direction! Consider Medicare Supplement plans, where you get better coverage, and you get to pick whatever drug coverage you want. Choice is good. Come explore the possibilities on my website, franklybetterme.com/seniorsecurity
