Medigap is a type of health insurance that is designed to supplement Original Medicare, the federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and over. It is offered by private insurance companies and helps to cover some of the costs that Original Medicare does not, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Medigap plans are standardized, meaning that each plan is the same regardless of the insurance company offering it. This makes it easier for consumers to compare plans and choose the one that best meets their needs.
Medigap plans are available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Consumers can choose from 10 different plans, each of which offers different levels of coverage. Consumers can also choose to purchase additional coverage, such as prescription drug coverage, through a separate plan.
Some of the companies offering Medigap plans include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare. Show Less Read more
