What is Medigap Plan G?
Like Medigap Plan F, Plan G is one of the most popular choices for people who are seeking Medicare Supplement insurance. Medigap Plan G and Plan F share quite a few similarities. Plan G provides coverage for most of the major gaps that are left over by Original Medicare. The plan will help with costs associated with hospital deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. It will also pay the 20 percent that Medicare Part B does not cover.
Overall, it is a strong option that will provide coverage if ever needed. One thing that it does well is help pay for inpatient costs such as skilled nursing, blood transfusions, and hospice care. A portion of the plan will help pay for outpatient services like doctor visits, medical equipment, ambulances, x-rays, surgeries, lab work, diabetes supplies, and much more. If needed, once Medicare pays its portion of the cost, Medigap Plan G will pay the remainder after the annual deductible is passed. One of the few things that it won’t cover is the annual Medicare Part B deductible.
