Medigap is a helpful form of supplemental insurance that Original Medicare beneficiaries can purchase. These plans are sold by private insurance companies, but they are standardized under the Medicare program. The plans are designed to help Medicare beneficiaries pay for out-of-pocket costs like coinsurance, excess charges, and deductibles.
The benefits offered under each plan varies, but all plans are standardized. There are ten plans available.
Medicare Supplement Insurance is best for people who want to lower their out-of-pocket medical costs, in exchange for making monthly payments to a Medigap plan. This arrangement can often result in significant savings, especially if you rely heavily on your Medicare benefits during a given benefits period. Therefore, Medigap plans suit almost everyone.
Every Medigap plan varies, but there are some common benefits that are featured in every plan. These are the benefits that are offered in every plan:
These benefits are featured in every plan, including the most basic plans available through Medigap. If you want more benefits, you can buy a more extensive plan. For example, Plan F, the most comprehensive option, covers deductibles, skilled nursing facility coinsurance, and all Part B excess charges.
You can purchase a Medigap plan at any time of the year, but that doesn’t mean you should wait until the last minute to purchase coverage. As soon as you become eligible for Medicare benefits, your Medigap Open Enrollment Period begins. During this time, you cannot be denied coverage due to your health condition and all plan providers must accept you at the lowest available rate.
This can set you up for massive long-term savings, so don’t miss out on the opportunity. Get started with Medigap as soon as you enroll in Original Medicare.
Medigap plans have a lot of benefits that you need to understand before purchasing one. The knowledgeable agents at Malhotra & Assoc. Insurance can help you identify which plan fits your long-term needs best. Contact us today to receive a free quote!
