A Medicare supplement plan, (often referred to as “Medigap”) is an insurance policy designed by Medicare that will cover the expenses that Medicare will not fully cover. Although these policies are designed by Medicare, they are sold by private insurance companies, at each of their set prices.
All Medicare Supplement plans are “standardized” meaning the benefits are the same, regardless of the carrier that is offering the plan. It is important to understand that the benefits will remain the exact same from company to company. The ONLY difference is the price that each company charges.
Medicare Supplemental Plans are designed in a letter system, ranging from Plan A to Plan N. Currently, the most popular plans are F, G and N. As with all Medigap Plans, your most important consideration should be cost and coverage.
