The Capitol Life Insurance Medicare Supplement plans
When it comes to comprehensive coverage, it doesn’t get better than Medicare Supplement insurance. These plans work as secondary coverage to your Original Medicare. Medicare Supplement plans are also known as Medigap plans. They will help cover your portion of the Medicare cost-share for services rendered under Medicare Part A and B.
These Medigap health care plans help cover items such as the Medicare Part A deductible, Part B coinsurance, and excess charges. Since these plans are secondary to Medicare, you retain the ability to use the program for any healthcare provider nationwide that accepts Medicare. There is also no need to get a referral to see specialists. This ability makes Medigap plans very enticing for people enrolled in Medicare.
Medigap plans come in 10 different plan letters from which to choose. The Capitol Life Medicare Supplement plans include:
Plan F has been the most popular for several years. It’s no surprise why as it picks up 100% of the cost-share you would usually be required to pay. Simply pay your Plan F premium and pay nothing when you use health care services covered under Medicare Part A or Medicare Part B. However, Plan F isn’t an option for people that are new to Medicare.
Plan G is the most popular plan for Medicare beneficiaries starting Medicare. This plan will offer almost the same level of coverage as Plan F. The only difference is that you must pay the small annual Part B deductible.
Plan N rounds out the top three Medicare Supplement plans. This plan offers one of the best bangs for your buck! The coverage for Plan N is similar to that of Plan G. The main difference is that you’ll have small copays for office visits and the emergency room.
Plan A is a basic plan. For the most part, It offers minimal benefits other than covering. The 20% coinsurance left over by Medicare.

Medicare Part C plans are required to include all the same coverage as Original Medicare. Most Medicare Advantage health plans will also contain Medicare prescription drug coverage and plan extras that Orignal Medicare doesn’t cover.
