How much Medicare Supplement insurance coverage do I need?

There are ten standardized Medicare Supplement insurance plans. All of them pay towards out-of-pocket costs for Medicare-approved services. Some plans pay most or all of your out-of-pocket costs, but have a higher monthly premium. Other plans pay fewer out-of-pocket costs, but have a lower monthly premium. Benefits and costs vary depending on the plan chosen.

Will Medicare cover the costs of coronavirus testing or treatment?

With all the uncertainty around the coronavirus, it’s difficult to know for sure if you’re covered should you need to be tested or even treated for COVID-19. The chances of having a test covered is good, but when it comes to treatment, the answer is “it depends.”

  • You can compare all of the options in one centralized location.
  • Your Medigap agent/broker has a loyalty to you and your satisfaction, not to one specific insurance company.
  • You have a direct representative that you can call if you ever have problems or questions.
