What is Medicare Supplement Insurance?
Medicare Supplement Insurance plans, also known as Medigap, help cover some of the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) doesn't pay. These can include copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. If you have Original Medicare, a Medigap plan works alongside it to help reduce your share of healthcare costs.
How Medigap Plans Work
When you have Original Medicare and a Medigap plan, Medicare pays its share of the approved amount for covered healthcare costs first. Then, your Medigap plan pays its share. This can help make your healthcare expenses more predictable. Medigap plans are standardized, meaning the benefits for plans of the same letter (like Plan G or Plan N) are the same no matter which insurance company offers them.
