Medicare Supplement Plan D - Medigap
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plan D is not to be confused with Part D
Supplement Plan D covers most of the gaps in Medicare, with the exception of the Part B deductible and also any excess charges.
- Part B Deductible – $198 for 2020
- Excess charge is an additional amount you will pay if a provider charges more than the Medicare allowed amount.
You will pay an out of pocket for these two minor items if you purchase a Supplement Plan D. It DOES however cover all of the most important things, like the 20% of outpatient services that you would otherwise be responsible for.
Among the 10 Medicare Supplement plan types, Supplement Plan D might be viewed as the midpoint in terms of the amount of coverage. Plan D offers more coverage than Plans A and B, but does not offer the additional benefits covered by Plans C and F. Certain benefits included in other plans, such as the Medicare Part B deductible and Part B excess charges, are not covered under Plan D.
- It’s important to compare the cost between Supplement Plan D and Plans F or G, which have more benefits. This will help you determine if the low monthly savings is worth the additional out of pocket expense to you.
- Some people would rather pay more for their supplement if they know that they will not have any out of pocket when they use their plan.
- Others prefer a low monthly premium and don’t mind having a little out of pocket as they use their plan.
What is the Difference Between Part D to Plan D?
- It’s very easy to get confused about Part D and Plan D. These letters are very identical, it’s hard to remember and know what the all names and terms do.
- Medicare Part D is the prescription drug program available to all beneficiaries. It is essentially a pharmacy card.
- Medicare Supplement Plan D, on the other hand, is just one of the 10 Medicare Supplements that are available to you.
