Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans only pay after Medicare has first paid their share of the costs. If Medicare approves a claim and pays the part they owe, the remainder of the bill is sent to your Medicare Supplement (Medigap) insurance company.
Some items that are not covered by Medicare or your Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plan are:
- Long-term care or custodial care
- Routine dental, vision and hearing exams
- Hearing aids
- Eyeglasses or contacts
- Part D Prescription Drugs
