Supplemental Medicare Insurance
Insurance through work benefits or within individual policies varies significantly from Medicare and secondary insurance through Medicare.
Three months before your 65th birthday you become bombarded with mail, phone calls, and flyers centered around Medicare and the myriad of different insurance plans available. One thing’s for sure- if you don’t have a general understanding of the Medicare program BEFORE you turn 65, you could make a potentially financially devastating decision. Medicare Supplements Made Easy has a slew of easy to understand articles on Medicare and the different insurances, along with an available, knowledgeable, live agent to speak with to answer all of your questions and find you the plan that best suits your needs. Before we go any further, I will explain Medicare, how it works, and how to cover the gaps it leaves exposed by taking out a Supplemental Medicare Insurance.
Traditional Medicare is made up of four parts, lettered A through D. Part A is your entitlement for working forty quarters in the U.S. and it refers to Medicare’s hospital, or outpatient, coverage. Medicare is designed to cover 80% of all hospital and doctor expenses. However, before Medicare will step in and pay 80% of those costs, you must fulfill Part A’s deductible of $1132 every 60 days you enter the hospital. Part B is Medicare’s doctor coverage. Again, before Medicare will step in and pay 80% of the costs, you must fulfill a Part B deductible of $162 once a year. In summation, traditional Medicare leaves three major gaps - the remaining 20% of all doctor and hospital costs, the Part A deductible of $1132 every 60 days, and the Part B annual deductible of $162.
Supplemental Medicare Insurance truly is the ONLY way to successfully combat the high costs Medicare leaves you exposed to cover.
Supplemental Medicare Insurance is broken down into unique lettered plans, A through N. Not to be confused with the different "Parts" of Medicare, these plans cover some, if not all, of the gaps listed above. Plans A through N differ in coverage and in cost. The most popular and the most comprehensive plan is Plan F. Plan F covers every single gap listed above. The ONLY bill you will pay is the affordable monthly premium. This premium is based off of where you live and what company you choose. Luckily, all companies offer the same coverage, the only difference is price.
