ALSO CALLED MEDIGAP

A little more help

with your share.

A Medicare supplement can help with certain costs left to you by Original Medicare. We’ll help you understand where it fits.

Medicare Basics   /   Medicare Supplements

THE ESSENTIALS

Three things to know.

01

Works with Original Medicare

Medigap helps with certain deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance. It doesn’t work with Medicare Advantage.

02

A separate policy

You pay a premium for your supplement in addition to Medicare premiums. New Medigap policies don’t include prescription drug coverage.

03

Timing matters

Your Medigap enrollment rights differ from Medicare’s annual plan enrollment periods. Outside protected periods, health questions may affect your options.

MAKE IT PERSONAL

Here’s what we can look at together.

A short guide can introduce the options. Your circumstances help us understand which details deserve a closer look.

QUESTIONS TO BRING

  • What enrollment rights apply to me now?

  • Which costs would a policy help pay?

  • How would a supplement and drug plan fit my budget?

GOOD TO KNOW

A few good questions.

No. A supplement works alongside Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage is another way to receive Medicare benefits.

Start with the benefits and eligibility, then compare premiums and policy details. Your location and circumstances can affect what is available.
