Preparing for Medicare: What is Medigap?
Senior Lifestyles Podcast
12/15/22 • 5 min
Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) offers many benefits, but it has some "gaps." The most prominent gap is there is no limit on out-of-pocket expenses, which encompass deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.
One way to fill many of these gaps is through a Medicare Supplement Insurance policy (also known as Medigap) sold by private insurers. Medigap policies come in several different versions but must adhere to strict government standards. These standards allow easier comparisons between policies and protect consumers from unscrupulous insurers.
In this episode, Pete Keers breaks down Medigap, what it covers, how it works, how to buy it, and more.
