What is Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap)

How Does Medicare Supplement Insurance Work?

In general, Medigap is optional. There are currently 10 available plans for Medigap, including A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, and N. Each of these will provide different benefits and cover different health-related services. Only people who already have Original Medicare can purchase this plan. They need to pay a premium on a monthly or quarterly basis. While it may add extra costs, it would help lower the amount of out-of-pocket money you have to pay for treatments. It is important to take your lifestyle and medical needs into consideration. Medigap plans may cover more than only out-of-pocket expenses and could benefit people from different backgrounds. [2]
