What Does Medicare Supplement Plan G Cover?
Medicare Supplement Plan G covers most of the out-of-pocket costs that Original Medicare leaves you open to, with one exception. With Plan G, you will need to pay your Medicare Part B deductible. The Part B deductible for 2020 is $198.
In their initial research phase, many people compare Plan G to Plan F, which covers the Part B deductible. However, the premiums for Plan G tend to be considerably less than that of Plan F. Because of this, many people find that even after they pay their deductible, Plan G is still the more cost-effective option.
Keep in mind: if you become eligible for Medicare in 2020 or later, you will not be able to get Plan F. This means that Plan G will be the plan with the most comprehensive coverage available to you. Additionally, you will have the option to sign up for a. If you currently have a Plan F and are considering switching, we can help you evaluate your options.
Does It Matter Which Company I Select?
Medicare Supplement plans are completely standardized, so the benefits will be the same from company to company. All Medicare Supplement plans, including Plan G, are standardized in the following ways:
Benefits – You don’t have to worry about which company offers the best or most benefits. The benefits of a Plan G will be the same regardless of the company you select.
Doctor’s Network – Medicare Supplement insurance companies don’t have their own doctor’s networks. Their plans are only supplements to your primary Medicare Parts A & B coverage. Your network is the nationwide Medicare network, so, you don’t have to worry about whether one company has a better doctor’s network than another.
Claims-Paying Process – The Medicare Supplement claims process is highly automated. It is easy for you to use the coverage, and most people never see any paperwork. Once Medicare approves your claim, they will pay their portion and notify your provider of what they owe. The company must then pay the amount due per Medicare’s instructions. Due to the automation and standardization in this area, every company is equal in its claims-paying history.
To make it simple, Medicare is your primary coverage. The plans that each Medicare Supplement insurance carrier offers are identical from company to company, because they are standardized by the government.
So, How Do I Decide Which Company to Choose?
Selecting a company can be confusing, but there are two factors that can help you narrow down your decision.
