Should I Get A Medicare Supplement Plan?

Medicare Supplement plans, also called Medigap, help cover some of the medical expenses that Medicare does not cover by itself. A Medicare Supplement plan protects you from uncovered costs, and helps keep you money where it belongs - in your savings account.

What Won't Be Covered By My Medicare Plan?

You might be surprised at some of the costs that aren't covered by Medicare. But a supplement plan can cover many of these expenses.

  • Hospital stays. Without a supplement plan, you'd pay a daily fee for up to 150 days.
  • Skilled nursing stays. After 20 days, you could pay up to $119 a day at a skilled nursing facility without Medigap coverage.
  • Medicare Part B. Medicare Part B's has a $124 yearly deductible. And with many medical services you'll have to pay 20% of the bill as coinsurance. A Medigap plan can help cover these costs.

What Do I Need To Get A Supplement Plan?

To get a Medicare Supplement plan, you'll need to be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. But you can't get a supplement plan if you are in a Medicare Advantage plan or Medicaid.
