Medicare Supplement Health Insurance, also known as Medigap, is a type of health insurance that helps cover the gaps in Medicare coverage. It is designed to supplement Original Medicare, which is the federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, as well as those with certain disabilities. Medigap plans are offered by private insurance companies and are standardized by the federal government. They provide coverage for some of the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare does not cover, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Medigap plans also cover some services that Original Medicare does not, such as emergency medical care while traveling outside the United States. Some of the companies offering Medicare Supplement Health Insurance plans include Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, Mutual of Omaha, and UnitedHealthcare. Show Less Read more
