Today’s seniors aren’t your parents’ seniors. People are taking better care of themselves, looking better, and living longer than ever. This is why it’s so important to choose Medicare Supplemental health insurance plans AKA Medigap. Whether you are just turning 65 or are Medicare eligible due to end stage renal or certain disabilities, you have the option to purchase coverage in addition to original Medicare.
Medicare only covers a portion of your expenses.
With original Medicare part A and B you still have to pay deductibles and co-insurance. These cost can really add up. Click here to see what Medicare part B covers (and doesn’t). With a Medigap plan, it can help pay for some or all of the cost.
How much will I pay if I become seriously ill, and I only have Medicare?
It could cost you up thousands of dollars for one year of care because there are no limits on out-of-pockets costs that you can accrue on Medicare. To read more about the costs of Medicare read the article Can’t Afford Medigap F? Think Again.
Is Medicare Supplement insurance expensive?
Price varies by plan. Some are more expensive than others but that doesn’t mean a more expensive plan is a “better” plan. Medigap plans with the same letter (such as Medigap plan G) have the exact same core coverage.
