Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans A, B, D, and G
Plan A is the most basic supplemental plan. It includes coinsurance and coverage of hospitals and hospice care. Plan B includes these same benefits as well as the inpatient deductible for hospital stays. Plan D includes these benefits along with coverage during foreign travel and coinsurance for nursing facilities. Plan G includes all of the above benefits as well as expenses for necessary treatment exceeding Medicare’s coverage limits.
Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans C and F
Plans C and F are a combination of two or more of the above plans. Plan C includes the coverage from Plan B as well as coverage during foreign travel and nursing care. Plan F includes the coverage from plan C as well as expenses for necessary treatment exceeding Medicare’s coverage limits. Plan F is also available with a higher deductible than other plans, which can significantly decrease the cost of premiums.
Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans K and L
Plan K reduces the cost of Medicare copays by 50%, whereas Plan L reduces it by 75%.
Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans M and N
Plans M and N both include the same coverage as Plan D, but Plan M reduces the Medicare Part A deductible by 50%. Plan N requires copays for office and emergency room visits.
