What is a Medicare Supplement?

PICK ANY DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL THAT TAKES MEDICARE!

Commonly called "Medigap", a Medicare Supplement Insurance helps fill “gaps” in Original Medicare and is sold by private companies. Why is it necessary if I have Medicare? Original Medicare pays approximately 80% of the cost for Medicare covered health care services and supplies. This leaves 20% to be paid by the patent. A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy can help pay some of the remaining health care costs, like:

✔ Copayments

✔ Coinsurance

✔ Deductibles

Some Medigap policies also cover services that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like medical care when you travel outside the U.S. If you have Original Medicare and you buy a Medigap policy, here’s what happens:

✔ Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health care costs.

✔ Then, your Medigap policy pays its share.

✔ Medicare Coverage Outside the US may work differently.

✔ Medicare will not cover outside the US but your Medigap policy may.

By completing this form I understand that a licensed agent will reach out to me by phone, text, or email to discuss Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, or Medicare Part D Plans.
