Supplemental
Medicare Supplements Overview
Original Medicare does a great job of providing coverage for medical and hospital expenses. However, you are still left having to pay a portion of the bill. With the help of Medicare Supplemental insurance, that bill may be cut in half or even completely erased in some instances.
The Medicare Supplement insurance plan is typically sold by private insurance companies and helps to cover the costs from copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. For the most part, the plans have been standardized across the United States to offer a consistent, comprehensive coverage for Original Medicare costs. Made up with letters ranging from A through N, the only options no longer available are Plans E, H, I, and J. All other plans are currently active and are worth looking into if you want to make your Medicare plan more cost-effective.

With several Medicare Supplemental Insurance options available to policyholders, it is important to understand the benefits of each.
