    No. If you are on Medicare part C (Medicare Advantage) your Medicare Supplement will not pay anything at all.

    Medicare Supplements (aka:Medigap plan) are designed to pay the cc-pays and deductibles after Medicare A&B. When you are on Medicare Advantage, Parts Aabd B do not pay anything. Your supplement would be useless.

    When you have a Medicare Advantage plan you don't need any form of supplemental insurance plan.

    The Medicare Advantage plan is all inclusive, albeit with a lot of out of pocket expenses if your health takes a turn for the worse.

    Sometimes unscrupulous agents will try to convince you to buy a Medigap plan, hospital indemnity plan, or cancer plan to fill the holes in your Advantage plan.

    If you feel like you need another insurance policy to fill the gaps you would be better off dropping the Advantage plan and switching to a Medigap policy.
