What is a Medicare supplement?

A Medicare supplement is a private policy that works alongside Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to help with certain out-of-pocket costs. Plans are standardized — labeled A through N — which makes it easier to compare what each one covers. Rates for the same plan can vary quite a bit between insurance companies, so it pays to compare options before choosing.

Copayments & coinsurance

Helps with the share of costs you'd otherwise pay for covered services.

Deductibles

Many plans help with the annual deductible you pay before Medicare begins paying.

Nationwide flexibility

Most plans let you see any provider that accepts Medicare, anywhere in the U.S.
