The Medicare landscape is divided into two main paths: Traditional Medicare (Parts A and B) and Medicare Advantage (Part C). It's crucial to understand that a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan is not an alternative to Medicare Advantage; it's a component of the Traditional Medicare path. When you choose Traditional Medicare, a Medigap plan fills the gaps in coverage, as mandated by federal law.

When evaluating carriers, we look at several key factors. Financial stability is paramount, which is why we always check the A.M. Best rating. We also look at customer service and claims history, often reflected in the NAIC complaint index. A carrier might have low premiums today, but if they have a history of steep rate increases or poor customer service, they might not be the best choice for the long haul.
