Can Supplemental Insurance Be Used Along With Medicare? 
Can supplemental insurance be used along with medicare ? That 's what supplemental insurance was made for . Medicare covers many things , but not everything and not every cost a person may face . A medicare supplement steps in and fills the gaps to make Medicare a more complete policy . How complete depends on which plan you choose from the Medicare supplements authorized by your state . One thing to keep in mind as things change in our healthcare world is that many practices are n't accepting new patients with just Medicare , so a supplement is something to consider if you decide to go that route .
