Hardin Insurance Your
Medicare Supplement Plans
Specialists
Hardin Insurance is your source for Medicare supplement
plans.
Also known as Medigap
or supplemental Medicare
insurance plans, Medicare
supplement plans provide
individual medical insurance
to cover the costs that
traditional Medicare Part A
and Part B plans do not
cover.
With Medicare
supplement plans you can
cover some or all of the
cost of your co-pays,
deductibles and the excess
charges not covered by
Medicare.
What You Need To Know About
Medicare Supplement Plans
Unlike
standard insurance plans
where coverage varies by
plan and the list of
variables can be staggering,
with Medigap plans Medicare
has standardized the
coverage into 10 plan
options available for you to
choose from.
This means that once
you have settled on the plan
that provides the best
coverage for your needs, it
is simply a matter of
finding the best price
offered among the many
carriers.
Because each carrier
sets their own rates for
each plan, based on a wide
variety of variables, it is
important to shop around to
get the best rate for the
Medicare supplement plans
you are considering.
Rates can vary
greatly among carriers,
sometimes ranging as much as
$75 or more per month for
the exact same coverage.
The Benefits of Medicare
Supplement Plans
When
investigating which Medicare
supplement plans are right
for you and/or your spouse,
it is important to know that
there are several key
benefits to the plans in
general.
The coverage of each
individual plan will remain
constant throughout the life
of the plan.
You do not have to
worry about coverage levels
changing from year to year.
While coverage does
adjust to cover your
Medicare deductible and
co-pay amounts, you will
always enjoy the same
features as the original
plan you bought into for as
long as you hold your
insurance.
Additionally, most Medicare
supplement plans are
guaranteed renewable for
life.
Your Medigap plan
cannot be cancelled other
than for lack of premium
payment.
This assurance of
complete coverage is a great
comfort to many of our
customers.
Finally, with Medicare
supplement plans
you can see any doctor that takes Medicare patients. There are no
in-network or out-of-network
doctors to be concerned
with. Simply find the doctor
you like, and as long as
they will accept you as a
patient and they accept
Medicare, then they will
accept your Medicare
supplement plan.
When to Sign Up for Medicare
Supplement Plans
The
best time to sign up for
Medicare supplement plans
varies based on your
individual situation.
Usually, if you are retiring
at the age of 65, the best
time to enroll is during the
first 6 months before you
turn 65 and enroll in
Medicare Part B.
However if you are
covered by group insurance
and you choose to continue
working after age 65, you
will need to weigh your
options.
It is important to
compare the cost/benefits of
your group health insurance
plan versus the total
cost/benefits of Medicare
Part A, Part B premiums, a
Part D prescription plan and
a Medicare supplement plan.

many variable affecting the
best enrollment times, and
individual state
requirements also affecting
