NAVIGATING MEDICARE

Learn how Medicare Supplement coverage works.

Medicare Supplement insurance, also called Medigap, is designed to help pay certain out-of-pocket costs left by Original Medicare. A licensed agent can explain standardized plan types, premiums, eligibility, and enrollment timing.

WHAT TO CONSIDER

Compare benefits, premiums, and timing.

Benefits are standardized by plan letter, but premiums, underwriting rules, discounts, and customer service can differ by insurance company.

Standardized benefits

A plan with the same letter generally provides the same basic benefits regardless of the company offering it.

Monthly premiums

Premiums can vary by carrier, age, location, rating method, household discounts, and other factors.

Enrollment timing

Your Medicare Supplement open enrollment period and guaranteed-issue rights can affect your options.

Prescription coverage

Most people who want prescription coverage pair Original Medicare and a supplement with a separate Part D plan.
