Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans in Texas
Medicare Supplement Made Easy
If you’re approaching your 65th birthday or are about to lose your group Insurance benefits after age 65, it’s time to start thinking about how Medicare fits into your healthcare coverage. What many people don’t realize is that original Medicare doesn’t cover everything. That’s where a Medicare supplement plan, also known as Medigap, comes in.
What Is Medicare Supplement Insurance?
Medicare supplement insurance, or Medigap, is a type of private insurance policy designed to help cover the out-of-pocket costs that original Medicare (Parts A and B) doesn’t pay for. A Medicare supplement plan fills in those holes by covering the out-of-pocket costs Medicare leaves behind, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles.

What About Prescription Coverage?
Prescription drug costs, unfortunately, aren’t included in Medicare or supplement plans. However, you can add Medicare Part D, which can help cover the cost of prescriptions if you need recurring medication. Medicare Part D is a federal program that provides prescription drug coverage for individuals enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B. It’s offered through private insurance companies approved by Medicare and is designed to help reduce the cost of medications, both brand-name and generic.
