   Medigap and Medicare Part C are not the same.
   
   Medigap (Medicare Supplement insurance) policy is private health insurance established to supplement Original Medicare Part A and Part B. There are 10 standardized Medigap Plans with benefits designed to pay for Medicare approved charges not covered by Part A and Part B.
   
   Part C refers to a Medicare Advantage Plan. This type of Plan acts like an HMO or PPO. It combines your Medicare Part A and Part B, and usually Part D into one Plan (Part C).
