Georgia Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans
Georgia Medicare Supplement plans are designed to fill the gaps left by traditional Medicare coverage. Georgia Medicare supplement plans (GA Medigap plans) offer the most comprehensive coverage when compared to other types of Medicare Insurance in Georgia, like Medicare Advantage.
Medicare supplement Insurance plans are also the most common choice of Georgia residents for Medicare Insurance when combining all Medicare supplement plans “A” through “N”. However, there are situations when plans other than Medicare supplements may fit, and should be considered.
It is generally recommended that Georgia residents either purchase Medicare Supplement with a stand-alone part D. This would provide the most comprehensive coverage and the most freedom to see medical providers of choice with no network restrictions as you would find in a Medicare advantage plan. That is not to say that Medicare advantage (MA) plans are not good choices, just that Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans allow more freedom and fewer co-pays and out of pocket cost when compared with a Medicare Advantage plan. Keep in mind that Medicare Supplement plans in GA will cost a little more.
Georgia Medicare Coverage Gaps
Medicare has 2 basic parts: Medicare Part A which is the Hospital Coverage and Medicare Part B which covers out-patient and doctor’s office visits. Most people will qualify for Medicare Part A at no cost because they have qualified and paid in during the years before turning 65. However, there is a premium for Part B that is also adjusted based on income. Most people will pay the basic premium of $104.60 (2015).
Other gaps include deductibles for both part A and Part B, and coinsurance of generally 20%. (That means you pay 20% of the cost for most Medicare covered Medical expenses.)
The best way to pay for these remaining costs which can easily add up to Thousands of dollars or more is to include one of the Medicare supplemental insurance plans available in GA along with your basic Medicare.

How does Georgia Medicare Supplement Insurance Work?
Georgia Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans pay the deductibles and co-insurance left over after Medicare pays its covered portion. Generally speaking Medicare covers 80% and the Medicare Supplement Insurance plans in GA will pay the remaining 20%. Not all plans pay everything and you should see the Medicare Supplement Comparison Chart for more details. However, the most popular plan F will pay everything that is left over whereas, Plans “G” and Medigap Plan “N” leave a few manageable costs for the insured with slightly lower premiums. These 2 Medicare Supplement plans (plan G and plan N) are excellent plans and offer a good value proposition for Medicare Supplements in GA.
One of the big advantages of all Medicare Supplement plans is that they are accepted by anyone, anywhere that Basic Medicare is accepted. This is another significant difference compared to Medicare Advantage plans that typically are only accepted by doctors and hospitals that have agreed to accept each specific plan. This can be extremely limiting in some cases.
Medicare Supplement Plans in Georgia also participate in what is called “cross over billing” which basically means that Medicare coordinates the bills with your Medicare supplement plan and all balances are paid without you ever having to do a thing.
