Medicare Supplements
Medicare Supplement plans are also known as Medigap and are provided by private insurers that have been approved by Medicare. Medicare Supplement plans do not replace Original Medicare (Parts A and B) but rather serve as supplemental insurance as they reduce the out-of-pocket costs left behind from Original Medicare.
These out-of-pocket costs include copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance.
Eligibility and Enrollment
You can become eligible for Medicare Supplements after enrolling for Original Medicare during the Initial Enrollment Period. You will then have a six-month period known as the Medigap Open Enrollment Period to enroll in a Medigap plan. During this period, you cannot be denied coverage or charged more for premiums. If you choose to delay enrollment, the insurance company may reject your application for reasons that could be based on your health.
Alternatively, you can contact the insurer directly, either online or on the phone, to purchase a plan.
