Medicare Supplement Insurance

Because original Medicare coverage has limitations, many people purchase supplemental insurance policies that are specifically designed to cover some of the gaps. . These supplemental insurance policies are called “Medigap” or sometimes referred to as “Medicare Supplement”. A Medicare supplement insurance plan helps pay for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by Medicare, such as coinsurance, copayments, and/or deductibles. These policies are sold by private health insurance companies, not the federal government.
