Because Medigap benefits are standardized by law, Plan G with one company covers the exact same medical costs as Plan G with another. Sarah helps you benchmark premiums and carrier financial stability.

Are you within 6 months of your Part B effective date at age 65 or older?
This one-time federal window guarantees that Nationwide insurers cannot deny you coverage or charge higher rates for health history. Once it closes, medical underwriting applies. Call Sarah directly to protect your guaranteed-issue rights.
Predictable out-of-pocket medical security.
Medigap pays the deductibles and coinsurance that Original Medicare leaves behind:
Plans G and N pay 100% of the 20% outpatient coinsurance for doctor visits, specialist care, durable medical equipment, and outpatient surgeries.
Covers the hospital deductible per benefit period, plus daily hospital and skilled nursing facility coinsurance copays.
You can receive care from any physician, cancer center, or hospital in the entire United States that participates in Medicare—no network boundaries or referrals.
Standardized plans provide 80% coverage for emergency medical treatments received outside the United States up to policy lifetime maximums.
What Medigap does NOT cover.
Medigap only pays costs associated with Medicare-approved claims. It does not cover everything:
Federal law prohibits Medigap policies sold after 2005 from including prescription drug coverage. You must purchase a standalone Part D plan.
Medigap does not cover routine dental cleanings, dentures, eyeglasses, or hearing aids because Original Medicare does not cover them.
Assistance with daily living activities (bathing, dressing, eating) in assisted living or nursing home facilities is not covered.
If you choose Medicare Advantage or drop Medigap after your initial 6-month window, you may be denied future Medigap coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Key facts about standardized benefits, Plan G vs. Plan N, open enrollment, and underwriting.
Is Medigap the same as Medicare Advantage?
No. Medigap supplements Original Medicare by paying your deductibles and 20% coinsurance while giving you unrestricted access to any Medicare provider in the nation. Medicare Advantage replaces Original Medicare with a private carrier managed care network.
Can an insurance company deny me Medigap coverage nationwide?
During your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period (starting the first month you have Part B at age 65+), Nationwide insurers cannot deny coverage or charge higher premiums for pre-existing conditions. Outside this window, insurers can evaluate your medical history and decline coverage unless a specific guaranteed-issue right applies.
What is the main difference between Plan G and Plan N?
Plan G covers 100% of Medicare-approved out-of-pocket costs after you pay the small annual Part B deductible. Plan N offers lower monthly premiums, but requires you to pay up to a $20 copay for doctor visits, up to $50 for emergency room visits, and does not cover Part B excess charges.
Does Medigap include outpatient prescription drug coverage?
No. Federal law prohibits Medigap policies sold after 2005 from including prescription drug coverage. To cover retail medications, you must enroll in a separate standalone Medicare Part D prescription drug plan.
What are the Medicare Supplement (Medigap) rules for people under 65 on disability?
Under National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) rules, individuals under 65 who qualify for Medicare due to disability have a 6-month open enrollment period for Medigap Plan A when they first enroll in Part B. They receive another full open enrollment period for all plans upon turning 65.
