    Yes, Medigap and a Medicare Supplement are actually pseudonyms, two different terms that mean the exact same thing. Medigap refers to a policy that "fills in the gaps" of what Medicare does not pay, much like a Medicare Supplement, which is intended to "supplement payment for items that Medicare does not pay in full." Either way you say it, both terms mean the same thing.

    Are Medigap and Medicare supplement the same thing? Yes, pretty much the words are interchangeable in their use in describing those products that are available to supplement your Medicare parts A and B. You "gap" that implies it fills in the holes A & B miss and "supplement" which implies it covers what A & B don't. Tomato or Tomato.
