Medicare supplement insurance, also referred to as Medigap health insurance, provide comprehensive coverage for the services covered by Medicare.
If it is most important to you to have the widest range of choice in where you receive health care, then the right solution might be Medigap insurance and a Part D Prescription Drug Plan.
It's called "Medigap" because it covers the gaps in coverage from Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). Original Medicare covers about 80% of health care costs. Medigap supplement policies generally cover the remaining 20% of out-of-pocket costs including co-pays and deductibles. So you generally pay higher monthly premiums, but less in out-of-pocket costs compared to other types of Medicare health plans.
The benefits offered in a Medicare supplement insurance plan will be the same no matter what insurance company provides your policy. So, for example a Plan F from one insurance company will have the same benefits as a Plan F from another insurance company. The plans are differentiated by letters -for example Plan A and Plan F - and there are set benefits for each plan. So it's easy to compare plans across different insurers.
Costs, however, are not the same between Medicare Supplemental insurance companies. So get Medicare supplement quotes from at least two companies for the same letter plan. That way you are comparing apples to apples.
Medicare Supplement Plan F is the most popular plan - coverage includes basic benefits including Part A and Part B co-insurance and deductibles, skilled nursing facility co-payments, and coverage for foreign travel emergencies. Other popular plans are the basic Plan A and Plan C.
Why Choose a Medigap Insurance Policy?
- You want the widest choice of doctors and hospitals.
- You want the most coverage for out-of-pocket expenses.
- You travel extensively and want easy access to doctors and facilities wherever you go.
