Is Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage better for Texas residents?

Medicare Supplement works with Original Medicare — giving you access to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare nationwide with predictable costs. Medicare Advantage (Part C) often has $0 premium but uses HMO/PPO networks and has out-of-pocket maximums of $4,000–$8,300/year. Supplement is better for: those with frequent health needs, travelers, people who want any doctor/hospital. Advantage is better for: healthy seniors in strong-network areas who want low monthly costs and don't mind network restrictions.
