What is Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap)

Who Provides Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans?

Medigap plans are sold by private insurance firms. Not all available plans can be found in every firm. Nevertheless, they have to follow the federal and state regulations determined by Medicare. It means a plan needs to offer the same basic coverage, no matter which private company you choose. For instance, Medigap Plan A from two different firms in two different states will still provide the same coverage. However, keep in mind that Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have different standards for Medigap policies. If you live in these states, make sure to check with your local authorities or insurance firms. [3]
