Original Medicare does not cover everything!
Supplemental coverage or Medigap is extra or additional insurance that you can purchase to help pay for services and out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare does not cover such as deductibles and co-insurance.
Medigap policies are standardized , and in most cases named by letters, ie., Plans A-N. You will need to compare these plans to find which one best fits your needs.
Find policies in your area. Price is the only difference with the same letter sold by different companies.

All plans must cover a wide range of prescription drugs that people with Medicare take, including most drugs in certain protected classes. A plan’s list of covered drugs is called a “formulary,” and each plan has its own formulary. Many plans place drugs into different levels, called “tiers,” on their formularies. Drugs in each tier have a different cost. For example, a drug in a lower tier will generally cost you less than a drug in a higher tier.
Example:
Tier 1 - lowest co-payment: preferred generic drugs
Tier 2 - medium co-payment: most generic drugs, some brand name
Tier 3 - higher co-payment: preferred brand name drugs
Tier 4 - higher - highest co-payment: most are brand name drugs, some are specialty
Tier 5 - highest co-payment: specialty drugs
Some plans have a 4 tier system and some may go as high as 6 tiers.
We can look at adding a Medicare Supplement Plan to Original Medicare with a stand alone Prescription Drug Plan.
Maybe straight Original Medicare will work for you with a stand alone Prescription Drug Plan.
We can also look at Medicare Advantage Plans that combine the health and, in most cases, the Prescription Drug Plan. MAPD's come with some extra benefits like dental, vision, hearing, over-the-counter drugs and more.
