Medicare Supplements (Medigap)

Help comparing Medicare Supplement plans that work alongside Original Medicare and may help with some out-of-pocket costs.

Medicare Supplement plans (Medigap) help cover some of the costs that Original Medicare does not — such as deductibles and coinsurance. Plans are standardized and identified by letter (for example Plan G, Plan N), so the benefits for a given letter are the same from one carrier to the next; premiums and underwriting rules, however, vary by carrier. Medigap policies are also guaranteed renewable, so coverage stays in place as long as premiums are paid.

Health Insurance Options LLC can help you compare the Medicare Supplement plans we represent so you can find a plan that fits your needs and your budget. Most Medigap plans do not include prescription drug coverage, so we often pair them with a standalone Medicare Part D plan.

When Medigap can be a strong fit

  • You want predictable out-of-pocket costs.
  • You want the freedom to see any doctor or hospital across Central Oregon — or anywhere in the U.S. — who accepts Medicare, since Medigap plans are not network-based.
  • You travel frequently or split time between Central Oregon and another part of the country.
  • You are within your six-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period.

Medicare Supplement FAQ

What is a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan?
A Medicare Supplement, also called Medigap, is a private insurance policy that works alongside Original Medicare (Parts A and B). It can help pay for some of the out-of-pocket costs Original Medicare leaves behind, such as deductibles and coinsurance, depending on the plan letter you choose.
How is a Medigap plan different from a Medicare Advantage plan?
Medigap works with Original Medicare and you generally can see any provider in the U.S. who accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage replaces the way you receive your benefits and typically uses a network of doctors and hospitals. Most Medigap plans do not include drug coverage, so you typically pair them with a standalone Medicare Part D plan.
When is the best time to enroll in a Medigap plan?
Your Medigap Open Enrollment Period is a six-month window that begins when you are 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this window you generally have guaranteed-issue rights. Enrolling outside that window may require medical underwriting depending on your situation.
