Medigap Forms

• The features and benefits of Medigap policies--also called Medicare supplemental policies--are defined by law. Insurance companies must sell you a standard set of coverages, features and benefits, so that you can compare plans easily.
  
  

Types of Plans

• The Medicare system divides plans into levels A through N depending on the type of coverage under each plan. Plans E, F, H, I and J are no longer sold, but existing plans are still honored.
  
  

Deductibles and Co-Pays

• Medigap plans can help covered individuals pay co-pays and deductibles not covered by Medicare.
  
  

Items Medigap Does Not Cover

• Medigap policies do not provide nursing home or assisted-living (long-term care) coverage, vision or dental care, hearing aids or glasses.
