Medicare Supplement Plan C is a policy which covers nearly all of the Medicare gaps that you would usually be required to pay. The only exception is it does not cover the Part B excess charges.
Excess charges are surcharges that your doctor can charge above and beyond what Medicare will reimburse. They are limited to 15% beyond what Medicare pays. Many doctors do not charge excess charges, but occasionally they do.
For individuals who were not eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020, they will not be able to purchase a Medigap plan that covers the Part B deductible ($226 in 2023 and $240 in 2024). Because of this, Plans C & F are not available to people new to Medicare. If you already have one of these plans, you will be able to keep your plan. If you were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020, but not yet enrolled, you may be able to buy one of these plans.
