It's always good to have options. Isn't it?
You like to have options getting a health insurance plan, right?
Even though Medicare Part A and Part B
Choosing the Medigap plan that suits you is a big decision, but there are a lot of options available, so it can seem a bit complicated.
We understand that.
To make it easier, we've put together a comparison of the benefits of all the Medigap plans, so you can compare one plan against another and select the one that's right for you.
With Medicare, you might still have to pay a portion of your healthcare services as deductibles, copays, and coinsurance
Medigap is a health insurance policy sold by private insurance companies to fill the "gaps" in original Medicare coverage. You might need to pay a monthly premium for a Medigap policy in addition to your monthly Part B premium.
To sign up for a Medigap plan, you must have Medicare Parts A and B coverage. Once you've enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B, you can choose a Medigap plan that meets your needs and purchase it.
Medigap policies don't have networks, so you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare. Moreover, some Medigap plans even offer extra benefits for emergency medical care while traveling outside the United States
Medicare beneficiaries can choose from at least nine different Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans in 2025, each identified by a letter. The federal government standardizes these plans, so each plan offers the same basic benefits regardless of where you purchase it.
Note: Medicare beneficiaries signing up for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020, can no longer purchase Medigap plans that cover the Part B deductible. So, Plans C and F are no longer available for them. However, if you were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020, but have not yet enrolled, you may be able to purchase Plan C or Plan F, which would cover your Part B deductible. You can keep your plan if you were covered by Plan C or F (or the Plan F high-deductible version) before January 1, 2020.
Most Medigap plans cover the same basic benefits, while some may provide additional benefits. You can compare plans in the chart below and choose the plan you like.
Medigap Plans — Comparison Chart 2025
Some states offer a Medigap plan called the Medicare SELECT plan
The total cost of Medigap plans the plan you choose
While some Medigap plans cover 100% of your service once you pay the required deductible amount, others may have copayments or coinsurance in addition to the premium. Different insurance companies may charge different premiums for the same plan, so it pays to compare when shopping for a plan.
The total cost of a Medigap plan depends on:
Part A/B premium
Medigap plan premium
Deductibles — The amount you pay before your insurance coverage begins
Copayments — The amount you pay as your share for services after paying any deductibles, usually a percentage
Coinsurance — The amount you pay as your share for a medical service
No, standard Medigap plans are not restricted to specific networks. Healthcare providers who accept Medicare also accept Medigap.
Some Medigap plans even provide emergency healthcare services outside the U.S.
However, state-sponsored Medigap plans like Medicare SELECT have network limitations. Healthcare providers outside this network will not provide coverage except in an emergency.
Medigap plans are standardized across all states in the U.S. except in Massachusetts Minnesota Wisconsin
Even though the basic benefits are common across most of the Medigap plans, each of these states has a different way of handling Medigap, so you'll want to understand the differences before you purchase your plan.
However, beneficiaries in these states can use their policy nationwide with any doctor who accepts Medicare, just like the standard Medicare Supplement plans in other states.
If you want to enroll in Medigap
Enrolling during your Initial Enrollment Period medical underwriting
Enrolling during any other time of the year may require medical underwriting, and providers may reject your application if you have a pre-existing condition.
Medigap plans can be an advantage for covering your out-of-pocket expenses. And since all Medicare-approved providers accept it, there are no network restrictions.
