Plan F & Plan G are two Popular Plans in North Carolina and Throughout the Nation

Medicare is a federal program that provides medical insurance for people age 65 and older and people under age 65 with certain disabilities. A Medicare supplement plan is a health insurance policy to fill the “gaps” (deductibles and co-payments) in Original Medicare coverage. These plans help cover some of the healthcare costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover. Plan F and Plan G are two popular Medicare supplement plans in North Carolina and the nation. There are “no out of pocket expenses to pay” with Plan F. It covers 100% of all Medicare-covered services. Plan F pays 100% of Medicare Part A & Part B deductibles and co-insurance. Plan F also pays 100% of skilled nursing facility co-payments, plus 100% of any Part B excess charges. Plus you have the freedom to choose your own doctor without a referral and visit any Medicare–participating hospital in the nation.

It is important to know that Plan F and Plan G Medicare supplement benefits are the same from company to company, but the premium rates vary widely from company to company.
