Medicare Supplement Insurance
According to the press release “Medigap Plans Providing Prescription Drug Coverage Clarifications” found on OnlinePRNews.com, the Medicare Supplement News Center is making a clarification on their website about Medigap because of an influx of confusion by consumers.
Apparently, many senior citizens think that one of the missing pieces covered in Medigap insurance is traditional Medicare prescription drug coverage. With the recent overhaul of health care Medicare supplement insurance plans earlier this year prescription drug coverage is not offered with all Medigap plans and it’s important consumers understand this change.
If you are a Medicare eligible consumer and have a pre-2006 Medigap plan that does have prescription drug coverage you have a few options going forward. You are satisfied with the coverage you currently have you can keep the plan, even if it’s no longer offered to new eligible consumers. Shopping for Medicare and various health insurance quotes can be overwhelming, but with the right information, you can make the most informed decision which will benefit you in the short and long run.
