Medicare Supplement insurance, often called Medigap, is designed to help pay the costs that Original Medicare does not fully cover. This can include deductibles, copays and coinsurance that add up over time. Understanding how these plans work is the first step to feeling confident about your coverage.
Medigap plans are standardized by the federal government, which means the benefits of a given plan letter are the same no matter which company sells it. What can differ is the price and the service behind the plan. That's why comparing options matters.
