Medicare Supplement

Medicare Supplement Insurance is secondary insurance to Original Medicare. These plans are sold by private insurance companies to fill in the gaps of Original Medicare that you are required to pay. These plans are regulated federally but can also have state regulations that govern how insurance companies can sell the plan in their state. An example would be the state of Texas not allowing Texas Medicare Supplement Insurance to price their plans by "Gender". This means a male and female pay the same rate.

1. Guaranteed Renewable - the insurance companies can not drop your policy. These plans will be there as long as you pay your premium.
2. Standardized - benefits are the same between companies so it makes Medicare Supplement comparison much easier than a traditional health insurance policy.
3. Electronic Claims - you do not have to file claims, they are filed electronically.
4. Open Enrollment Period - the open enrollment period for Medigap plans allows you to join a policy with no health questions for 6 months. This is a huge benefit for someone with health problems.
