Understanding Medicare Supplement Plans

A Medicare Supplement plan, often called Medigap, is designed to work with Original Medicare by helping pay certain costs you may otherwise have to pay yourself, such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.

Deductibles

Coinsurance

Copayments

Excess charges

A Medicare Supplement plan could be right for you if you’re looking for:

Who Can Benefit from a Medicare Supplement Plan?

For Frequent Travelers

If you travel often, Medigap may provide added flexibility. Your coverage works nationwide with any Medicare-accepting doctor or hospital, helping you stay protected wherever you go in the U.S.

For People With Ongoing Healthcare Needs

If you visit doctors often or require regular medical care, a Medicare Supplement plan can help make your out-of-pocket costs more predictable and easier to plan for.

For Those Who Want More Provider Freedom

Medigap gives you the flexibility to choose doctors and hospitals that accept Medicare, without being limited to a local network the way many Medicare Advantage plans may require.

For Those Newly Enrolled in Medicare Part B

If you are new to Medicare Part B, you may qualify for special enrollment protections that can make it easier to get a Medicare Supplement plan without certain medical underwriting concerns.

Turning 65 or newly enrolled in Medicare Part B? This may be one of the best times to compare Medigap plans and understand the options available to you.

Understanding the Difference Between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage

Either option can be helpful based on your healthcare needs and budget, but Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans are structured differently and offer different ways to receive coverage.

Popular Medicare Supplement Plan Options

Medicare Supplement plans are standardized by letter in most states, meaning the basic benefits are the same for each plan letter. However, monthly premiums, underwriting requirements, and availability can vary by insurance carrier.

Medicare Supplement Plan G

Plan G is a widely chosen Medigap option because it offers broad coverage for many out-of-pocket costs left by Original Medicare. For many new Medicare beneficiaries, it is considered one of the most comprehensive Medicare Supplement plans available.

Medicare Supplement Plan N

Plan N may be a good choice for those looking for a lower monthly premium while still receiving strong supplemental coverage. It can be a fit for people who are comfortable with some cost-sharing, such as certain copayments or expenses not fully covered by the plan.

Medicare Supplement Plan F

Plan F offers comprehensive Medigap coverage, but it is not available to most people who became newly eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020. It may still be an option for those who were eligible for Medicare before 2020.

Enrollment

Know Your Medicare Enrollment Window

The Best Time to Review Medigap Options

For many people, the best time to enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan is during the Medigap initial open enrollment Period. This period typically begins when you are 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B, and it lasts for 6 months.

During this window, you may have important protections, including the ability to apply without certain health questions or medical underwriting in many cases. If you wait until after this period ends, your approval may depend on your health status and the underwriting rules of the insurance carrier.
