Medicare is a national health insurance program for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and those with end-stage renal disease.
If you’re turning 65 soon, you’ll have some critical healthcare decisions to make.
If you aren’t sure as to what all the parts of Medicare are, we have compiled all of them for you.
Known as Medigap Plans, Medicare Supplement Plans fill in the “gaps” of medical costs that aren’t covered by Original Medicare, such as coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles.
Medicare Advantage Plans, or Medicare Part C, can be used to substitute Medicare Part A and B, as well as offer prescription drug coverage.
You can enroll in Original Medicare three months before you turn 65 until three months after the month of your 65th birthday.
We have acquired an abundance of knowledge, and we’re eager to share this expertise with you in the form of articles and blog posts.

Medigap Plan B, also called Medicare Supplement Plan B, has the same coverage as Plan A. It also includes the Part A hospital deductible — a key benefit because it’s a per-incident deductible, not a yearly one. Plan B will pay your deductible even if you acquire it multiple times in the same year.
Here’s a visual that can help you:
The costs for Plan B can differ by region. Each company that offers Plan B will set their rates. Other factors that influence the price are your:
The benefits for Medigap Plans are standardized — meaning a Plan B with one company has the same coverage as Plan B with the following company.

Consider this example: Bill has a heart condition that forces him to stay in the hospital overnight in February. Four months later, he’s admitted again for the same condition. Since his hospital stays are over 60 days apart, he’d usually have to pay the Part A deductible twice.
But Bill planned and bought a Medigap Plan B policy. His policy pays BOTH deductibles for him, meaning he owes $0 to the hospital for the semi-private room during his stay.
Now, his Plan B policy won’t cover everything. There’s still excess charges and foreign travel care. Bill might consider one of the other Medigap plans, like Plan F or Plan G, that cover the hospital deductible and these items.
Medigap Plan B is one of the many Medicare Supplements you can buy to neutralize your medical costs. It’s not PART B, which is your Original Medicare oupatient coverage. You purchase PART B directly from Social Security, but you can buy Plan B through an agent like us.
Since these two have similar names, many people find the terminology hard to understand. If you’re unsure of something, give us a call today. It’s important to know the difference before you make a decision!
