Medicare Supplement Coverage - Three Reasons You NEED It

By Richard Cantu, President of GoMedigap

There are many different reasons that people do the things. However, people generally get Medigap insurance because they need it. Its often challenging for many people to understand this need and figure out how to get the right coverage at the best rate.

It can be quite complicated to comprehend, and that it's another expense that they feel they may not be able to afford. However, Medigap insurance can actually makes things more affordable. Most Medicare recipients are on fixed incomes and the comfort of knowing that you have fewer or no outright expenses for your health care can allow them to budget things better.

So why do you need a Medigap plan? Only you can truly figure that out, but here are three reasons that you shouldn't go without this great coverage.

1. Medicare parts A & B were not designed to cover everything and leave deductible, coinsurance, copay, and excess charge gaps that can be quite costly. Adding the right Medicare supplement insurance plan can help cover most, if not all, of your medical expenses and you wont have to fear being unable to pay your medical bills.

2. Medigap insurance is affordable. It is definitely cheaper than risking the huge expense of unpaid medical costs that Medicare can leave behind. Never sell yourself short and think that you can't afford the insurance supplement, because the chances are good that you can't afford NOT to have it. Think about the future, and remember that you cannot get Medicare supplements after you have been diagnosed as being chronically ill. Get it now, while you can. You'll appreciate it later.

3. Medigap plans are for everyone, and can be purchased from a large number of insurance companies. It doesn't matter if you have a preferred insurance company or if you just want a particular plan. You can find many private insurance companies that will sell the Medicare supplement coverage that you need. Between the dozens of companies that you can get coverage from and the 12 different plans that you can choose from, getting the right coverage has never been simpler.

Keep these things in mind when you are shopping for or learning more about Medicare supplement insurance. Its definitely beneficial for budgeting and peace of mind when youre living on a fixed income.
