"Medigap" is the name given to health insurance policies issued by insurance companies to supplement the benefits of Original Fee-For-Service Medicare. These policies are also sometimes called "Medicare Supplement Policies."
Medigap coverage is designed to pay portions of medical bills that Medicare does not pay -- including deductibles, coinsurance, and charges above Medicare covered amounts.
Medigap policies only supplement Original Fee-for-Service Medicare. Medicare Advantage policies, such as Medicare Advantage: HMOs are not supplemented by Medigap coverage.
Medigap policies are difficult for anyone with a life-changing condition to obtain except during periods of "Open Enrollment. " Medigap policies are medically underwritten except during such periods.
When choosing a Medigap policy:
- Determine whether a Medigap Policy is right for you.
- Choose the right policy for you with care.
- Buy smart. Buy early.
