## What is Medigap (one-paragraph definition)

Medigap (Medicare Supplement insurance) is a private health insurance policy you buy in addition to Original Medicare (Parts A + B). It fills the cost-sharing gaps Medicare leaves behind — the 20% coinsurance on most services, the Part A hospital deductible, and other out-of-pocket costs. Without Medigap, Original Medicare has no annual out-of-pocket maximum.

## How Medigap works

You see a doctor → Medicare pays 80% → Medigap automatically pays the remaining 20% (or other cost-sharing depending on plan letter) → you owe little or nothing at point of service. No networks — any Medicare-accepting doctor nationwide accepts Medigap. No referrals.

## Standardized Medigap plans (federally standardized — same coverage across carriers)

- **Plan G**: covers everything except Part B annual deductible. Most popular for new enrollees. $110-$200/month.
- **Plan N**: like Plan G but adds $20 office / $50 ER copays. $90-$160/month.
- **High-Deductible Plan G**: same coverage as Plan G after federal annual deductible. $40-$70/month.
- **Plan F**: closed to anyone Medicare-eligible after January 1, 2020.
- Plans A, B, C, D, K, L, M: older partial-coverage plans, rarely best for new enrollees.

## Medigap vs Medicare Advantage (mutual exclusivity)

- **Medigap** supplements Original Medicare. Higher monthly premium. No networks. Predictable costs. Best for travel + doctor-of-choice.
- **Medicare Advantage** replaces Original Medicare. Lower or $0 premium. HMO/PPO networks. Often bundles Part D + dental/vision/fitness.

A consumer can have one or the other but not both.

## Enrollment timing

- **6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period** — one-time, starts the month you turn 65 AND are enrolled in Part B. Every plan guaranteed-issue, no health questions. Missing it is the most expensive Medicare mistake.
- Year-round guaranteed-issue states: CT, ME, MA, NY, VT.
- Birthday Rule states: CA, ID, IL, KY, LA, MD, MN, NV, OK, OR.
- Anniversary Rule state: MO.
