Medicare Supplement Plans

Medicare Supplement Insurance, Medigap, refers to various private health insurance plans sold to supplement Medicare. Medigap insurance provides coverage for many of the co-pays and some of the co-insurance related to Medicare-covered hospital, skilled nursing facility, home health care, ambulance, durable medical equipment, and doctor charges. Medigap’s name is derived from the notion that it exists to cover the difference or “gap” between the expenses reimbursed to providers by Medicare Parts A and B for the preceding named services and the total amount allowed to be charged for those services.Insurance, Medigap, refers to various private health insurance plans sold to supplement Medicare.
