What are Medigap Plans?
Medigap Plans (also known as a Medicare Supplement Plan), is a private health insurance plan that is designed to help cover some or all the cost that Original Medicare Part A and Part B do not cover.
Remember, Medicare only pays for 80% of your medical cost. Medigap Plans include coverage for:
- Part A deductible, coinsurance, and copays (Hospital, including inpatient and emergency room visits)
- Medicare Part B annual deductible, coinsurance, and copays (Physician)
- Medicare Part B excess charges
- Skilled Nursing Facility Care coinsurance
- Foreign Travel emergency (limited coverage)
Medigap Plans have no network. You can see any doctor, medical facility, or hospital nationwide that accepts Medicare. With a Medigap Plan, it does not matter what insurance carrier you have, if the facility takes Medicare, by law, they have to take your Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plan.
Medigap Plans are not Medicare Advantage Plans and do not include coverage for prescription drugs, dental, vision or hearing. These plans are purchased separately.
Do not confuse Original Medicare Part A and Part B with Medigap Plans A or B. Remember, Original Medicare has Part A and Part B. You get plans to cover what Medicare does not cover (Medigap Plans or Medicare Advantage Plans).
Medicare Supplement Plans Comparison
Let’s look at the benefits and cost of some Medigap Plans.
Compare Medicare Supplement Plan F
Medigap Plan F is the most comprehensive Medigap Plan you can choose. It provides the most coverage of all available Medigap Insurance Plans. Plan F also has the highest monthly premium because it provides the most coverage.
Compare Medicare Supplement Plan G
Medigap Plan G is nearly identical in coverage to Plan F. The only difference between Medigap Plans G and F is that Plan G requires you to pay the Medicare Part B deductible.
With that said, Plan G provides great coverage at a lower premium than Plan F. In our experience and in most cases, it makes financial sense to switch from Plan F to Plan G due to the lower premium, in most states (even after you pay the deductible).
Compare Medicare Supplement Plan N
Medigap Plan N provides great bang for your buck! If you are someone that doesn’t go to the doctor often, and you want the luxury of a Medigap Plan, then Plan N should be on your checklist.
Regarding coverage, Plan F is the top, then Plan G and then Plan N.
Medigap Plan N should not be overlooked. You are covered 100% in the hospital as an inpatient and only have a ER copay of $50.
You will pay your Part B deductible and then up to a $20 copay. Plan N does not cover Medicare Part B excess charges, but not all states have excess charges.
Your monthly premium with Plan N can be up to 40% less than Plan F and up to 30% less than Plan G.

Do all Medicare Supplement Plans pay the same?
We need to be sure we answer this question in two ways.
No, not all Medicare Supplement Plans pay the same. Every Medicare Supplement Plan covers different benefits and therefore will not pay the same.
Yes, Medicare Supplement Plan F is the same from one carrier to another. So, regardless of the carrier you have for whichever Medigap Plan you have, the benefits pay the same.
