Medicare Supplement (Medigap)

Medicare Supplement insurance (Medigap) helps pay for what Original Medicare does not—such as copays, deductibles, and coinsurance.

Fill the Gaps in Medicare

Medicare Supplement insurance, also called Medigap, is sold by private companies to fill the "gaps" in Original Medicare coverage. These policies help pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover.

If you have Original Medicare and a Medigap policy, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health care costs. Then your Medigap policy pays its share.

Guaranteed Renewable

As long as you pay your premiums, your Medigap policy is guaranteed renewable. Insurance companies cannot cancel your policy.

Predictable Costs

No Prior Authorization

Stable Benefits

Medigap benefits are standardized and don't change year to year. What you enroll in today will be the same coverage tomorrow.

When Can You Enroll?

Timing matters when it comes to Medigap enrollment. The best time to buy is during your Open Enrollment Period.

Open Enrollment Period

Your Medigap Open Enrollment Period is the best time to buy a policy. It lasts for 6 months and begins when you're both 65 or older AND enrolled in Medicare Part B.

During this period:

  • Guaranteed acceptance regardless of health

  • Cannot be charged more due to health conditions

  • Best selection of available plans

  • Lowest available premiums

Important: If you miss your Open Enrollment Period, you may have to wait for another opportunity and could face medical underwriting.

Special Circumstances

You may have guaranteed issue rights (the right to buy a Medigap policy) in certain situations, even outside your Open Enrollment Period.

Guaranteed issue rights when:

  • Your Medicare Advantage plan is leaving Medicare

  • You move outside your plan's service area

  • Your plan violated your trust or misled you

  • You're in a Medicare SELECT plan and move

Best for: People who value flexibility and want to keep seeing their current doctors.
