Medicare Supplement in South Carolina

Fill the Gaps Original Medicare Leaves Behind

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans work alongside Original Medicare to cover the 20% coinsurance, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs β€” giving you predictable expenses and the freedom to see any Medicare-accepting doctor nationwide.

Medicare Supplement, Plain and Simple

Original Medicare pays 80% of most covered services. The other 20% is yours β€” and with no out-of-pocket maximum in Original Medicare, those costs can add up fast.

A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan is private insurance that picks up those costs. You keep your Original Medicare, and the Supplement plan pays the rest. You can see any doctor or hospital in the country that accepts Medicare β€” no referrals, no networks.

Because these plans are standardized by the federal government, a Plan G from one company covers exactly the same things as a Plan G from another. The only real difference is price β€” and we shop multiple carriers to find you the best rate.

  • See any Medicare-accepting doctor in the U.S.
  • No referrals needed to see specialists
  • Predictable monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs
  • Coverage travels with you anywhere in the country
  • No network restrictions β€” ideal for frequent travelers
  • Combine with a separate Part D plan for drug coverage

Plan G vs. Plan N β€” The Two Top Choices

πŸ₯‡

Plan G β€” Most Comprehensive

Plan G covers nearly everything Medicare Supplement can cover. After you pay the annual Part B deductible ($240 in 2024), your Plan G pays 100% of Medicare-approved costs for the rest of the year.

  • Part A coinsurance & hospital costs
  • Part B coinsurance or copayments
  • Part A hospice care coinsurance
  • Skilled nursing facility coinsurance
  • Foreign travel emergency (up to plan limits)
πŸ₯ˆ

Plan N β€” Budget-Friendly Option

Plan N offers strong coverage at a lower monthly premium than Plan G. The trade-off: small copays for some office and ER visits, and you pay the Part B excess charge if a doctor doesn't accept Medicare assignment.

  • Part A coinsurance & hospital costs
  • Part B coinsurance (with small copays)
  • Up to $20 copay for office visits
  • Up to $50 copay for ER visits (waived if admitted)
  • Foreign travel emergency coverage

Medicare Supplement FAQ

The best time is during your Medigap Open Enrollment Period β€” the 6-month window that starts the month you turn 65 and are enrolled in Part B. During this window, insurers cannot deny you coverage or charge you more based on health conditions. After this window, medical underwriting may apply.
Yes β€” Medicare Supplement plans do not include prescription drug coverage. You'll need to enroll in a standalone Part D Prescription Drug Plan. We help you find one that covers your specific medications at the lowest cost.
Yes, but outside of guaranteed issue periods, you'll need to pass medical underwriting. If you're healthy and want to switch to save money, we can help you compare rates. If you have health conditions, it's often best to stay with your current plan.
Yes β€” plans are standardized by the federal government. A Plan G from Company A covers the same benefits as a Plan G from Company B. The differences are premium price and customer service. We compare multiple carriers to find you the best rate for the same coverage.
Medigap works alongside Original Medicare with no networks. Medicare Advantage replaces Original Medicare with a private plan that typically has networks but lower premiums. The right choice depends on your health, travel habits, and budget. We'll help you decide.
