Medicare Supplement insurance plans, commonly known as "Medigap," are a great option for individuals who need assistance covering the out-of-pocket costs of Original Medicare.
How Do Medicare Supplement Plans Work?
Medigap plans are standardized plans that work in conjunction with your Original Medicare to help cover some of the costs that you would otherwise have to pay on your own. The rate you pay on your Medicare Supplement insurance > is dependent on the level of benefits it provides. While premiums will vary depending on the insurance provider, it’s a safe bet that the more comprehensive the coverage, the higher your premium will be. Our licensed agents can help you find the right Medigap coverage for your needs.
Medicare Supplement Plans Help With Copayments and Deductibles
While your Medicare health insurance plan still covers the primary costs of your health care bills, Medigap plans provide coverage for certain cost-sharing expenses required by Medicare, like copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. This can be incredibly helpful for those requiring frequent doctor visits.
It’s Easy To Keep Your Medigap Policy
As you age, doctor visits and hospitalizations are likely to increase. You may also develop new health problems that will require you to seek medical attention more frequently. The great thing about Medigap policies is that you have the right to renew your policy as long as you pay the premium. This means that your insurer cannot cancel your policy or raise your premium because of health problems. These rules and limitations can vary by state, so ask our agents for specifics about your policy.
