Medicare Supplement Insurance
Medicare Supplement Insurance
Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap, helps bridge the financial gaps left by Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). While Medicare offers critical health coverage, it doesn’t cover all healthcare expenses. Copays, coinsurance, and deductibles can add up fast—but Medigap is here to help. By reducing out-of-pocket costs, Medigap makes managing your healthcare expenses more straightforward and predictable.
A Medicare Supplement Plan is ideal for minimizing unexpected healthcare expenses and reducing financial stress. Whether you’re managing routine care or planning for the unexpected, Medigap offers dependable coverage tailored to your needs.
Looking for more coverage? Medicare Advantage plans often include extras like vision, dental, hearing, and prescription drug coverage. This all-in-one approach simplifies your healthcare, providing greater value and potentially lowering out-of-pocket costs.

What Does a Medicare Supplement Plan Cover?
Each Medigap plan offers unique benefits, designed to fill specific coverage gaps. Depending on the plan you choose, coverage may include:
- Part A Coinsurance and Hospital Costs (includes up to an additional 365 days of hospital coverage after Original Medicare is exhausted)
- Part B Coinsurance or Copays, reducing the cost of doctor’s visits and outpatient care.
- The First 3 Pints of Blood for medical procedures
- Part A Hospice Coinsurance or Copays, providing added peace of mind.
- Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Coinsurance, helping cover stays at specialized care facilities

Medicare Supplement FAQs
A Medicare Supplemental Plan, or Medigap, is private health insurance that helps cover some of the costs not paid by Original Medicare, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Medigap plans are designed to fill the "gaps" in Original Medicare coverage.
No, Medigap cannot be used with Medicare Advantage. Medigap plans are only designed to work with Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you cannot purchase or use a Medigap plan for additional coverage.
Medigap plans are not tied to provider networks, you can see any doctor or specialist that accepts Medicare nationwide. This flexibility remains even if specific doctors or facilities change their networks.
