Medicare Supplement Insurance
A Medicare Supplement insurance policy helps consumers manage and budget their health care expenses with predictability and stability. Medicare provides beneficial coverage for health-related expenses, but it does not cover all health care expenses. There are a number of gaps in Medicare coverage that consumers either pay for out-of-pocket or with private insurance. A Medicare Supplement insurance policy can help fill in those gaps and help pay the out-of-pocket costs for Medicare-approved services and works hand-in-hand with Medicare to provide more insurance coverage.
A Medicare Supplement insurance policy has no restrictive networks, consumers can visit the physicians of their choice, and have freedom when choosing a health care provider, including specialists and specialty hospitals. With automatic claims filing by most providers, consumers have fewer things to worry about.
