Medicare Supplements Explained

Medicare Supplements, or Medigap, is a type of insurance that exists to fill the “gaps” that are left by Original Medicare. The gaps being referenced and the out-of-pocket costs that many Medicare beneficiaries are left to pay after receiving covered services. Some people do not like having to pay these costs, so they instead get a Medigap plan to pay it for them.

What is Medicare Supplement Insurance?

Medicare Supplements cover costs that are not paid by Part A and Part B of original Medicare. Through a plan, you can have copays, coinsurance, and deductibles all paid for. Though there are ten different plans available and each pays a different assortment of costs.

With some plans, you get coverage for everything, while others only pay a portion of your out-of-pocket costs. Something is better than nothing, though, so even the lighter Medigap plans can be incredibly helpful for lowering out-of-pocket health care costs.
