Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage and Medicaid
Medicare Supplement
Insurance that helps fill "gaps" in Original Medicare and is sold by private companies. Original Medicare pays for much, but not all, of the cost for covered health care services/supplies. A Medicare Supplement policy can help pay some of the remaining health care costs; copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, etc.
Medicare Advantage
A Medicare Advantage plan is a private health insurance plan approved by Medicare. You may opt to get your Part A, B and D benefits from a Medicare Advantage plan instead of Original Medicare. These Medicare private insurance plans usually have an HMO or PPO network of doctors... and additionally offer luxuries.
Medicaid
A federally-supported but state-administered program intended to provide health insurance to low-income, low-asset individuals and families, including people with disabilities and people over the age of 65. Medicaid also offers benefits not normally covered by Medicare, including nursing home care and personal care services.
