If you are on
Medicare or going on it,
did you know it may not always pay all of your health care costs due to
coverage gaps. Medicare Supplement plans also known as Medicare

to fill in those gaps. Medigap plans help cover deductibles,
coinsurance, and for some care that Medicare does not cover.

These changes will not affect the Medigap plan
you already have or purchase before June 1, 2010. You can keep the plan
you already have as long as you pay the premiums. Your benefits will
remain the same. You don't need to buy a new plan unless you want to
make a change.
If you are new to Medicare and have Part A and
Part B you can choose one of the new policies. The best time to sign up
is during open enrollment for Medigap plans which is 6 months beginning
when your Part B becomes effective.
