Enhance Your Medicare Coverage with Clearview’s Medicare Supplement Plans
Fill the Gaps in Original Medicare for Comprehensive Healthcare Protection
Introduction: While Original Medicare (Parts A and B) provides essential healthcare coverage, it doesn’t cover everything. That’s where Clearview Insurance and Financial Services can help. Our Medicare Supplement plans (also known as Medigap) are designed to cover the gaps left by Original Medicare, offering you peace of mind with more predictable costs and broader financial protection. Let us help you secure comprehensive coverage that meets your healthcare needs.
What Are Medicare Supplement Plans?
Medicare Supplement plans, or Medigap, are private health insurance plans that work alongside Original Medicare. They help cover additional out-of-pocket costs such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles, reducing your financial burden. Each plan is standardized and regulated to provide consistent benefits, ensuring you can choose the one that best fits your healthcare needs.
Key Features and Benefits of a Medicare Supplement Plan:
1. Predictable Healthcare Costs:
Medicare Supplement plans reduce unexpected medical expenses by covering copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles, making healthcare costs more manageable and predictable. This allows you to plan and budget for medical expenses with greater certainty, giving you peace of mind in your healthcare journey.
2. Freedom to Choose Providers:
With a Medigap plan, you can visit any doctor or healthcare provider who accepts Medicare, offering you the flexibility and freedom to choose the best care for your specific needs. This means you won’t have to worry about network restrictions or limited provider options.
3. Guaranteed Renewability::
Once enrolled, your plan is guaranteed to renew annually, provided you continue to pay your premiums. Your coverage cannot be dropped due to changes in your health status or new diagnoses. This ensures that you have continuous, reliable healthcare coverage throughout the year.
4. Nationwide Coverage:
Medicare Supplement plans travel with you, providing coverage across the U.S. Some plans even offer limited international coverage, ensuring you’re protected no matter where you go. This is particularly helpful for those who love to travel or who may spend time across different states throughout the year.
5. Comprehensive Coverage Options:
Medigap plans come in multiple standardized forms (Plan A through Plan N), allowing you to select a plan that meets your needs, whether you require basic or comprehensive coverage. These options help you find a plan that aligns with your health requirements and financial situation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Medicare Supplement Plans:
1. Can I get a Medicare Supplement plan if I already have Original Medicare?
Yes, Medicare Supplement plans are specifically designed to work alongside Original Medicare. However, you must already have Medicare Parts A and B to qualify.
2. When is the best time to enroll in a Medigap plan?
The best time to enroll is during your Medigap Open Enrollment Period (the six months following the start of your Part B coverage at age 65). During this time, you have guaranteed issue rights, meaning you can’t be denied coverage based on pre-existing conditions. If you apply later, you may face underwriting requirements or higher premiums.
3. Do Medigap plans cover prescription drugs?
No, Medicare Supplement plans do not include prescription drug coverage. For prescription drugs, you should consider enrolling in a separate Medicare Part D plan. We can help you find a Part D plan that complements your Medigap coverage and provides comprehensive protection for your medication needs.
4. How much do Medicare Supplement plans cost?
Costs vary depending on the specific plan, insurer, and location. Premiums generally increase with more comprehensive coverage. Our advisors will help you find a plan that balances comprehensive benefits with your budget.
5. Can I switch Medigap plans later?
You can apply to switch plans, but depending on your health status and the timing, you may be subject to medical underwriting. Consulting our experts will help you understand your options and guide you through the transition process.
