Yes. Medigap coverage is standardized is available directly through Medicare. To be eligible, you must be enrolled in a Medicare plan and have no other comprehensive insurance.
Medigap coverage, also known as Medicare Supplement Insurance, is a type of insurance that can help fill in the “gaps” in Original Medicare (Parts A and B) coverage. It is sold by private insurance companies and is designed to work alongside Original Medicare.
To enroll in Medigap coverage, an individual must first be enrolled in Original Medicare. Once enrolled, they can then shop around for a Medigap policy from a private insurance company. It is important to note that Medigap policies are standardized, meaning that the benefits offered by one company’s Plan A will be the same as the benefits offered by another company’s Plan A.
When shopping for a Medigap policy, it is important to compare the prices and benefits of different plans. It is also important to consider whether the insurance company has a good reputation for paying claims and providing customer service.
Once an individual has chosen a Medigap policy, they will need to pay a monthly premium to the insurance company. In some states, Medigap policies may also be subject to underwriting, meaning that the individual may need to answer health questions or undergo a medical exam in order to qualify for coverage
