Medigap is Medicare Supplement Insurance that helps pay for coverage with Original Medicare, and is sold by private companies. Original Medicare pays for much, but not all,

A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap)
policy can help pay some of the remaining health care costs, like:
Some Medigap policies also cover services that Original Medicare doesn't cover, like medical care when you travel outside the U.S. If you have Original Medicare and you buy a Medigap policy, here's what happens: Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health care costs. Then, your Medigap policy pays its share.
The best time to buy a Medigap policy is during your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period. You generally will get better prices and more choices among policies. During that time you can buy any Medigap policy sold in your state, even if you have health problems.
