Original Medicare (Part A + Part B) is a great health insurance plan, but did you know it doesn’t cover some essential medical costs? The best way to compensate for the gaps is by enrolling in Medicare Supplement Insurance, which will ensure adequate coverage.

Medicare Supplement Insurance or Medigap Policies are insurance plans that offer additional benefits and bridge the costs gaps that the Original Medicare doesn’t cover. These plans can cover a range of costs, such as:

• Copays
• Deductibles and Coinsurance
• Hospital Stays
• Doctor Visits

Which Medigap Plan to Choose?

Some Medicare supplement plans also offer savings on Part A & Part B deductibles associated with Original Medicare, all the more reason to buy it. The good news is that our licensed agents at Meta Senior Insurance can educate and recommend the perfect Medicare Supplement Insurance plan that provides the necessary coverage and minimize your out-of-pocket medical costs.

So, get the best Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan to fund the remaining cost not paid by Original Medicare Part A and B.

We recommend Plan G, Plan N, or Plan F (if you qualify).

Plan F is available only to individuals who became eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020).

If you are Medicare-eligible after January 1, 2020, then Plan G or Plan N will be your best option. If you have a Medigap plan or Medicare Supplement, it pays after Medicare to help cover your deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance that Medicare does not cover. Medigap plans are designed not to replace Medicare Part A and Part B but to fill up the gaps left by your Original Medicare plan.

Medicare Supplement Plans do not cover these medical expenses:

• Routine dental, vision, and hearing exams
• Hearing aids
• Eyeglasses or contacts
• Long-term care or custodial care
• Retail prescription drugs
