Medicare Supplement insurance plans help offset your out of pocket expenses for medical care. The plans are regulated by federal law and cover different things like copays, deductibles, and coinsurance payments.
The Medicare Supplement plans have letter names and go from A through N. However, a few policies in between are no longer available.
Private insurance companies issue Medicare Supplement plans. You secure the policy through them and pay your premiums to them, separate from any other premiums, including Medicare Part B premiums. Medicare oversees each policy, requiring standardized coverage, but the premiums may differ between companies.
