Medicare Supplement Plans In Michigan
Also Known as Medigap Insurance
A Medicare Supplement insurance plan is designed to “fill the gaps” of Original Medicare. Original Medicare contrary to popular belief is NOT free and certainly does NOT cover everything. It has monthly premiums, deductibles and Co-Insurances that if left alone can result in very large medical bills when used.
​
Medigap insurance policies are a secondary coverage to Medicare. This means that if Original Medicare is still your primary insurance. You will be able to go to any Medicare participating provider in the United States with no referral required.
These Medicare Supplement plans are characterized by plan letter in most states as A-D, F, G, and K-N, ( Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts are standardized in a different way ). The fact that these plans are standardized means that each plan must offer the same basic coverage regardless what Insurance Company you go through.
​
In simplified terms this means that Plan G will offer the same Health coverage no matter what insurance company you buy it through. The only difference from company to company will be how much you pay monthly for this additional health coverage.
