Medigap policies are designed to supplement Medicare coverage and help pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses, such as deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance.

Medigap policies are available to anyone who is enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B, regardless of age or disability status.

There are 10 standardized Medigap plans available: A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, and N. Each plan offers different levels of coverage and benefits.

Medigap policies and Medicare Advantage plans are two different ways to get health insurance coverage in retirement. Medigap policies are offered by private insurance companies and provide additional coverage for medical expenses not covered by Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans are offered by Medicare and provide comprehensive coverage that includes Medicare benefits. Medigap policies are typically more expensive than Medicare Advantage plans.

The open enrollment period for Medigap policies runs from October 1 to December 31 each year. During this time, you can enroll in a Medigap policy without having to go through medical underwriting.

The guaranteed issue right for Medigap policies ensures that insurance companies cannot deny coverage to anyone who applies for a Medigap policy during the open enrollment period, cannot charge higher premiums to people with pre-existing conditions, and must offer the same Medigap policy to all applicants, regardless of their health status.

The maximum out-of-pocket expense for a Medigap policy is $4,000 per year. This means that after you have paid $4,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses, your Medigap policy will cover 100% of the remaining covered expenses.

Medigap policies and Medicare supplement policies are the same thing. They are both private insurance policies that help pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by Medicare.
