Medigap
What is a Supplement/Medigap?
Original Medicare does not cover everything. For instances, deductibles for Parts A and B, coinsurance of 20%, and prescription drugs. To reduce or eliminate those costs and gain prescription coverage, a Medigap policy and stand-alone Prescription Drug Plan can be purchased by private insurance companies.
Features of Medigap Policies:
- Must have Medicare Parts A and B to enroll
- No networks. Any doctor that is Medicare certified in the country
- No referrals from primary doctor to specialists
- Offers Plans set by Medicare and they do not change
- Plans have a monthly premium and are adjusted yearly
- Some plans like G do not have any copays after the Part B deductible is paid
- Some emergency international travel included
