Medicare and a Medicare Supplement policy work together to provide coverage on your health care expenses.
- Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) helps cover:
- Inpatient care in hospitals
- Skilled nursing facility, hospice, and home health care.
- Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) helps cover:
- Services from doctors and other health care providers, hospital outpatient care, durable medical equipment and home health care.
- Preventive services to help maintain your health and to keep certain illnesses from getting worse.
Medicare provides you with the coverage described above; however, it is not designed to cover all your health care costs. You must pay these gaps in Medicare coverage which are often deductibles, coinsurance and co-payments. A Medicare Supplement insurance policy can assist you with paying all or some of these costs, depending on the policy you choose.

* Plan F is also offered as a high-deductible plan by some insurance companies in some states. If you have this option, this means you must pay for Medicare-covered costs (coinsurance, copayments, deductibles) up to the deductible amount of $2,700 in 2023 before your policy pays anything.
** For Plans K and L, after you meet your out-of-pocket yearly limit and your yearly Part B deductible ($226 in 2023), the Medigap plan pays 100% of covered services for the rest of the calendar year.
*** Plan N pays 100% of the Part B coinsurance, except for a copayment of up to $20 for some office visits and up to a $50 copayment for emergency room visits that don’t result in an inpatient hospital admission.
Starting January 1, 2020, Medigap plans sold to people new to Medicare won’t be allowed to cover Part B deductible. Because of this, Plans C and F will no longer be available to people who are new to Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.
- If you already have either of these two plans (or the high deductible version of Plan F) or are covered by one of these plans prior to January 1, 2020, you will be able to keep your plan. If you were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020 but not yet enrolled, you may be able to buy one of these plans.
- People new to Medicare are those who turn 65 on or after January 1, 2020, and those who first become eligible for Medicare benefits due to age, disability or ESRD on or after January 1, 2020.
