Have questions about Medicare or Medicare Supplement Insurance? You’ve come to the right place. Our licensed agents are here to help you understand your options at no cost to you.
Medicare is the U.S. government health insurance program created in 1965, also known as Original Medicare. It is made up of two parts:
Both parts include deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments for most services. Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) can help fill in these out-of-pocket costs.
Medigap is another name for Medicare Supplement Insurance — a private insurance policy that helps cover the gaps in cost-sharing that Original Medicare doesn’t fully pay, such as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
Original Medicare helps cover many medical expenses, but it does not pay all costs. A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan can help cover the remaining out-of-pocket expenses Medicare leaves behind. Without a supplement plan, those costs can add up quickly, especially if you have frequent doctor visits, hospitalizations, or ongoing medical needs.

Important things to know about Medicare Advantage plans:
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans and Medicare Advantage plans are different products and generally cannot be used together. Our agents can help you understand which type of coverage best suits your needs.
