What is Medigap Insurance and why do I need a Medigap Insurance Quote?

These are both good questions which have some pretty powerful answers. This article will explain briefly what the answer to both of these questions are and more importantly where you can turn to for more information if required.

Medigap Insurance is a type of health policy only offered to a Medicare beneficiary. To keep the subject matter simple and light, this type of health insurance fills in the costs left behind by original Medicare.

Is there one policy that covers 100% of the gaps left behind by A and B of traditional Medicare?

Yes. Medigap Insurance Plan F covers all the expenses left behind by original Medicare.

It is important to note that this is the only plan that pays the expenses left by Medicare without you having to worry about paying extra bills. Even if your provider charges you excess, which is legally allowed to be charged at the rate of 15% above what Medicare assigns as a price to any given procedure covered by Medicare.

Now that you understand these basic concepts, let us answer the question why do you need a Medigap Insurance Quote.

There are many companies in the Nation that offer Plan F but not all at the same price. Every company over time will increase their rates on their members so it is important to start at the lowest possible price to prevent any future excess spending. And why would any rational consumer want to spend more on the same standard coverage offered by all the companies that are contracted to do Medicare business. Also, not all companies are A rated. This can pose a problem when it is time for your medical claims to be paid. That is the last thing you want to worry about in a medical emergency, is whether or not your health insurance is going to pay.
