The biggest difference is that a Medicare Supplement is a supplement to Original Medicare. Original Medicare rules and coverages apply and then the Medicare Supplement plan covers all or a portion of the beneficiary's responsibility and may provide additional benefits that Medicare doesnt cover. This gives you the most choice because you can go to any Medicare provider with no prior authorization in the U.S., but there is a monthly premium. A Medicare Advantage Plan which can be an HMO, PPO, PFFS or several other types of plans, offered by private companies, becomes the primary payor if you enroll in their plan. They may offer little or no monthly premium, but the beneficiary must stay within the network of contracted providers in order to get the most benefits out of plan.
