Overview

How Medigap works

Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) helps pay some of the costs that Original Medicare doesnโ€™t coverโ€”like copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.

Works with Original Medicare

You keep Parts A and B, and your Medigap policy helps cover eligible out-of-pocket costs.


Standardized plan options

Plans are labeled by letter (like Plan G or Plan N). Benefits are standardizedโ€”pricing and extras can vary by carrier.


See any Medicare provider

Most Medigap plans let you visit any doctor or hospital nationwide that accepts Medicare.


Separate Part D coverage

Prescription drug coverage is not included with Medigapโ€”youโ€™ll typically pair it with a standalone Part D plan.

Why people choose Medigap


More predictable costs when you use careโ€”help with copays, coinsurance, and deductibles (varies by plan).

Freedom to see providers nationwide that accept Medicareโ€”great for travelers and snowbirds.

Keep your coverage year to yearโ€”Medigap isnโ€™t tied to a local network like many Medicare Advantage plans.

Medigap FAQs

Common questions we help clients answer when comparing Medicare Supplement plans.

When can I enroll in a Medigap plan?

The best time is typically your Medigap Open Enrollment Period (the 6 months after youโ€™re 65+ and enrolled in Part B). During this time, you generally have guaranteed issue rights.

Do Medigap plans cover prescriptions?

No. Medigap doesnโ€™t include drug coverage. Most people add a standalone Part D prescription plan.

Whatโ€™s the difference between Plan G and Plan N?

Both are popular options. Plan G generally offers more comprehensive cost-sharing coverage, while Plan N may have lower premiums with some copays for certain visits.

Can I switch Medigap plans later?

You may be able to, but outside of guaranteed issue situations you could be subject to medical underwriting depending on your circumstances and carrier rules.

Do I need a separate dental or vision plan?

Medigap focuses on Medicare cost-sharing. Many people add separate dental, vision, or hearing coverage if they want those benefits.

How do I compare carriers and rates?

Weโ€™ll review plan letters that fit your needs, then compare carrier pricing, rate history, household discounts, and underwriting guidelines to find a strong value.
