Utah Medicare Supplemental Plans or Medigap Plans
Medicare supplement insurance (Medigap) can help with some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover.
Utah Avenue Insurance can show you your options for Medicare Supplement or Medigap plans in Utah. These types of plans are great for those who travel often, have 2 or more homes or are high users of their health plans.
Medicare Supplement plan benefits travel with you. That is because there is no network or referrals needed. You can see any provider who accepts Medicare patients. You can do this throughout the whole nation. If you travel abroad, many of these plans have emergency coverage as well. This gives you predictable out-of-pocket costs for healthcare month after month.
These plans are also great for high users. If you see multiple doctors or have a condition that needs to be monitored on a regular basis. This is a great way to have steady predictable costs for your office visits. Usually there is just a small deductible to meet at the first of the year and the rest of your medical costs are covered.
The only medical costs that are not covered are prescription drugs. To have coverage for this you'll need to enroll in a Part D plan.
