Over simplified but a Medigap policy is a policy you PAY for in ADDITION to traditional Medicare to pick up some of the expenses not covered by Medicare. It is a supplemental plan.

An Advantage plan is technically Part C of Medicare which is a combination of Parts A & B and replaces traditional Medicare.

Hope that helps clarify a bit for you.
