Understanding Medicare Supplement Plans
Medicare Supplement plans, also known as Medigap plans, are designed to help cover certain out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare does not pay, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. These plans can provide greater predictability when it comes to healthcare expenses and may offer broader provider access.
