Many people don’t understand that Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap) cover the same services as Medicare. If Medicare doesn’t cover a service, then Medigap won’t cover it either.

Common Medigap complaints are really just misunderstandings of coverage. Having an agent that understands your needs is very important. For example, if you see a specialist for a medical condition, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the cost of that doctor visit. A Medigap plan can pay the other 20 percent. But if you need hearing aids, neither Medicare nor Medigap will pay for them.
