Since Original Medicare does not cover all your health care expenses, most people find they need additional coverage. A common choice is “Medicare Supplement” coverage, sold by private insurance companies. A Medicare Supplement policy helps to pay some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover—including copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Some policies even cover foreign travel emergency medical care.
A Medicare Supplement policy is designed to work hand in hand with Original Medicare. When you receive medical care, Medicare will pay its share of the approved amount for covered expenses. Your Medicare Supplement coverage will then pay its share to help cover costs you would otherwise have to pay out of your own pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my acceptance guaranteed?
If you are age 65 or older, your acceptance is guaranteed if: you apply prior to or during the Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment Period; or you lose coverage and meet the criteria for Guaranteed Issue Eligibility. Medical underwriting does not apply if you meet either condition.
What is medical underwriting?
Medical underwriting is a process that determines eligibility for coverage based on an applicant’s responses to a series of health related questions on the application. Medical underwriting only applies to applicant’s age 65 or older who do not qualify for guaranteed acceptance.
