The Ins and Outs of Medigap Coverage

Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap, is private health insurance that covers many of the "gaps" left by your Medicare coverage. As www.medicare.gov explains, Medigap coverage can help cover the costs of copayments and deductibles. So, you might ask yourself, "How do I manage my Medicare Supplement Insurance?"

• In order to buy a Medigap policy, you must have Medicare Part A and Part B.

• You pay a private insurance company for your Medicare Supplement Insurance along with your monthly Medicare premium.

• Medigap will not cover both you and your spouse. Each plan is designed to cover one person only.

• The Medicare Supplement Insurance policy will cover excluded conditions after the 6-month pre-existing condition waiting period.

• Medicare does not pay any Medigap costs.

• Often, Medicare Supplement Insurance policies do not cover long-term care, dental or vision care, eyeglasses or hearing aids.

• To purchase your Medigap policy call United Integrity Group, Inc. to speak with a knowledgeable representative in your area.
