Medicare Supplement & Medigap Agent in Lakeland, FL
Original Medicare leaves you with out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy helps fill some of those gaps. José explains how Medigap works and whether it's the right fit for your situation.

What a Medigap policy does
A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy is private insurance sold to help pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover — such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. A Medigap policy works alongside Original Medicare, not as a replacement for it.
José explains the standardized Medigap plan types available in Florida and how each one fills different gaps, so you can compare options without the confusion.
Medigap vs. Medicare Advantage
This is one of the most common questions José hears. The two are different approaches to your Medicare coverage:
- Medigap works with Original Medicare and helps pay your share of costs; you typically keep flexibility in choosing providers that accept Medicare.
- Medicare Advantage replaces Original Medicare coverage with a private plan that often includes networks and extra benefits.
- You generally cannot have both a Medigap policy and a Medicare Advantage plan at the same time.
When to consider a Medigap policy
Many people consider a Medigap policy during their Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which begins the first month you're both 65 and enrolled in Part B. During this period, you may have more options. José helps you understand the timing and what to weigh — including how a Medigap policy's premium compares to a Medicare Advantage plan's total costs.
He'll be straightforward about the trade-offs so you can choose the path that matches your health needs and budget.
