How many Medigap plans are available?


A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan is a type of health insurance policy that is offered by private insurance companies. These plans help cover certain costs that are not covered by Original Medicare, such as co-insurance, copayments, and deductibles.

There are a total of 10 standardized Medicare Supplement Insurance plans that are available in most areas. These Plans range from Plan A to Plan N and each one offers its own set of benefits.

Those who choose a Medigap plan to go alongside of Original Medicare, enjoy several advantages like:

  1. Having the freedom to choose their doctors and hospitals
  2. Do not require referrals to see a specialist
  3. Get to use their plan nationwide

Coverage is guaranteed renewable. (This means the insurance company can never drop or terminate you from a plan due to a health condition).

When deciding on a Medigap plan, there are a few key factors to consider. Such as which benefits are most important to you, how much of the Medicare gaps you would like to cover and if you have a specific budget in mind.

This is why it’s important to speak to a Medicare Expert that can make the process a lot easier, by finding specific plan types that may work for you and to help you understand the options that are available in your area.
