How Medigap Plans Work | Medicare Supplement Insurance

Learn how Medigap, or Medicare Supplement Insurance, fills the coverage gaps left by original Medicare.

Explore coverage details, including doctor visit charges and copayments, under plans labeled A, B, C, and more. These plans often cover the 20% charge for doctor visits and various copayments, addressing areas where Medicare falls short.

Medigap plan costs consider varying monthly premiums based on your chosen plan, location, and insurance company. Medicare's online tool can be used to navigate monthly premium ranges specific to your area.

Eligibility of Medigap policies may include individuals with preexisting health issues.

It is important to enroll during the Medigap open enrollment period to avoid potential increased charges or coverage refusal.

I am having some serious health problems right now. It is good to know that I can still get a Medigap plan, no matter what.

Got Medigap explained, and it literally fills in the gaps left by Medicare, making sure we’re covered.

I went from asking what is Medigap to planning to get one for myself.

[philippineblondlot]

I’m surprised this Medigap plan pays for some bills that Medicare does not cover.
