Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement in Texas
Choosing between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement (Medigap) is one of the most important decisions Texans make when they become eligible for Medicare. Maxon Benefit Advisors helps you compare costs, coverage, and provider access so you can pick the plan that fits your health needs and budget.
What Is Medicare Advantage (Part C)?
Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies approved by Medicare. They bundle Part A and Part B coverage, often include Part D prescription drug coverage, and may offer extra benefits such as dental, vision, and hearing. Most plans use provider networks (HMO or PPO) and have an annual out-of-pocket maximum.
What Is Medicare Supplement (Medigap)?
Medicare Supplement plans work alongside Original Medicare to help pay costs like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. You can see any doctor nationwide who accepts Medicare, with no network restrictions. Prescription coverage requires a separate Part D plan.
