Medicare Supplements
Medicare can provide great coverage, but it doesn’t cover everything. That’s where Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans can come in handy to help provide coverage for those out-of-pocket costs not covered by Original Medicare.
What Is Medigap?
There are a total of ten Medigap plans that were designed to supplement your Original Medicare (Part A and B) coverage. The ten plans are labeled with letters:
The coverage you receive will ultimately depend on the Medigap plan you choose to enroll in, but here is a list of the coverage that may be included:
When Should I Enroll?
Considering a Medigap plan? You’ll want to during the Medigap Open Enrollment Period. It begins as soon as you are 65 and enrolled in Original Medicare. It lasts for a total of six months, and you will have the option to enroll in a plan without the worry of being turned down for coverage.
Missing this period doesn’t mean you can’t enroll in Medigap, but it will be much harder to find a plan at the price you want. You may also have to go through the underwriting process.
