Medicare Gap Insurance Author David Schneider | Aug 29,2007 If you have Medicare, you know it's necessary to take out supplemental insurance to cover the cost of health care. The last thing you want is to be left in the dark when it comes to protecting your health. Below are some tips regarding Medicare Gap Insurance, to help you decide which plan is right for you, so you can move on with your life.    What is Medicare Gap Insurance?    Medicare gap insurance is supplemental insurance purchased through a private insurance provider. Medicare gap insurance has 12 different policies, labeled A through L, that work specifically with your original Medicare insurance. Depending on which state you live in, your standardized plans may be different.    How Medicare Gap Helps    Original Medicare health insurance is intended to help you with some of your health care costs. Because Medicare is not comprehensive coverage, you can get stuck paying hefty deductibles, co-insurance and co-payments. Medicare gap insurance provides some secondary relief. In other words, Medicare gap insurance helps fill in the gaps from original Medicare.    Is Medicare Gap Insurance My Only Option?    You have other options when it comes to secondary insurance. Plan D prescription coverage and Medicare Advantage plans are other popular choices. What's unique to Medicare gap insurance is that it has to satisfy state and federal standards. Unlike HMO and PPO plans, there's no need to worry about staying in a network of health care providers. Some Medicare gap insurance policies also cover you during travel outside the U.S.    Premiums are fairly low. Before heading to an insurance comparison Web site for some quotes, get to know the 12 different policies by contacting you state department of insurance or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
