Explore Your Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Options
When Original Medicare leaves some gaps in coverage, a Medicare Supplement planβoften called Medigapβcan help fill in those financial blanks. These plans are designed to assist with things like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Some even provide coverage for medical emergencies while traveling abroad.
Every Medigap plan is standardized and labeled (Plan A through Plan N), which means no matter which insurance company offers it, the benefits within each plan stay the same. What can vary is the monthly premium. Here's a quick overview of what each plan includes:
Plan A
A straightforward option that covers:
Part A hospital coinsurance
Hospice care coinsurance
Part B coinsurance/copayments
First 3 pints of blood
