Colorado Medicare Supplements

Buying a Colorado Medicare supplement should be very easy and one of the simplest insurance purchases you ever make. Every company that offers Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policies in Colorado, must offer the exact same benefits. There are 10 standardized Colorado Medicare supplement plans sold. They have designations of A through N. Although they may look complicated, deciding which Colorado Medicare supplement insurance plan best meets your needs can be very simple with a little help from Medicare Supplements Made Easy.

In general, Medicare supplement plan F is the most popular plan purchased in Colorado. It is the most comprehensive plan offered and is usually the most cost effective plan. With Medicare Supplement Plan F, you get the most complete coverage available. Because the plan covers costs in excess of Medicare-approved amounts, you will likely have no out-of-pocket costs for hospital and doctor's office care with this plan.

Medicare Supplement Plan F covers:

  • Basic benefits including
  • Hospitalization: pays Part A coinsurance plus coverage for 365 additional days after Medicare benefits end
  • Medical Expenses: pays Part B coinsurance – generally 20 percent of Medicare-approved expenses – or copayments for hospital outpatient services
  • Blood: pays for the first three pints of blood each year
  • Skilled nursing facility care
  • Medicare Part A deductible for hospitalization
  • Medicare Part B deductible for medical and hospital outpatient expenses
  • Medicare Part B excess charges (This is the difference between what a doctor or provider charges and the amount Medicare will pay up to Medicare's limiting amount)
  • Travel-abroad medical emergency help

Plan F also has a high-deductible option. If you choose the high-deductible option on Medicare Supplement Plan F, you have to pay a deductible of $2000 for 2010 before the plan pays anything. This amount can go up each year. High-deductible policies have lower premiums, but if you become sick, you’ll have higher out-of-pocket costs.
