Myths of Medicare

If you know anything about Medicare, you know for certain it is complicated. The ever-changing rules and regulations, enrollment deadlines, and late penalties make Medicare seem almost impossible to understand.

There are several common misconceptions about Medicare. One to note, many people switch up Medicare and Medicaid. Things as simple as terminology have people confused, especially the difference between a Medigap policy and a Medicare supplement. The truth is, there is no difference between these two terms! Medicare.gov uses Medigap and Medicare supplement interchangeably.
