WHAT IS MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT OR MEDIGAP INSURANCE?
Medigap is Medicare Supplement Insurance that helps fill “gaps” in your original Medicare plan. Original Medicare is sold by private companies like us here at The Whitcomb Agency. Original Medicare pays for a lot, but not the entire cost for covered health care services and supplies. A Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy can help offset the cost of some of the remaining health care expenses, like: Copayments, Coinsurance and Deductibles.
Some Medigap policies also cover things that Original Medicare does not, like medical care when you travel outside the U.S. If you have Original Medicare and you buy a Medigap policy, here’s what happens: Medicare pays it’s share of the Medicare approved amount for covered health expenses and then your Medigap policy pays it’s share.
