A Medicare Supplement plan, also called Medigap, works alongside Original Medicare instead of replacing it. Medicare pays its share of your care first, and the supplement picks up most of what's left, the deductibles and coinsurance that otherwise come out of your pocket. You can see any doctor in the country who accepts Medicare. No networks, no referrals.
Plan G is the fullest supplement sold to new enrollees today: after you meet the annual Part B deductible, it covers essentially everything Medicare approves. Plan N trades a lower monthly premium for small copays at the doctor and emergency room, and it does not cover the rare "excess charges" some providers bill. Premiums for both vary by your age, county, tobacco use, and carrier, which is why comparing quotes from several carriers matters more than any single company's ad.
Usually yes, and unlike Medicare Advantage, you don't have to wait for fall enrollment. Outside your first open enrollment window, switching a supplement generally involves answering a few health questions, and if you qualify, you can move to a lower rate or a different carrier any month of the year. If you've had the same Medigap plan for years and never re-shopped it, a comparison costs nothing and takes one call.
A supplement costs more each month and covers more predictably: any Medicare doctor, minimal surprise bills, plus a separate Part D drug plan. Medicare Advantage bundles everything with a lower monthly premium, often with dental and vision extras, in exchange for a network and plan rules. Neither is automatically better. The honest answer comes from your doctors, your prescriptions, and your budget, checked side by side, which is exactly what the quiz above starts.
