Medicare Supplemental Health Insurance – Medigap

Now, let’s look at other types of insurance that work with Original Medicare.

As we discussed earlier, Medigap helps pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover. Generally, people must have Medicare Parts A and B to buy a Medigap policy.

If a person enrolls in Original Medicare and has a Medigap policy, then Medicare and Medigap will each pay its share of covered health care costs. Medigap helps people pay for their out-of-pocket costs, as well as other services Medicare doesn’t cover.
