Medicare Supplement Plan C provides more security in coverage if you are willing to pay extra each month. This plan offers more than the basic healthcare services, but coverage must still fall within Medicare-approved charges.
Medigap offers 10 standardized plans available in most states, each covering different out-of-pocket expenses. Other states, such as Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, have their own standardized plans. Of the ten plans, Medigap Plan C is among the comprehensive plans. This plan covers most Medicare-approved out-of-pocket expenses.
| Part A coinsurance coverage | check |
| Part A eligible hospital services | check |
| Part A inpatient hospital deductible coverage | check |
| Skilled-nursing facility care coinsurance coverage | check |
| The first three pints of blood per calendar year | check |
| Part B coinsurance coverage | 20% of approved amount |
| Part B deductible coverage | check |
| Medicare preventive care coverage | check |
| Foreign travel coverage | 80% coverage after the given deductible |
Additionally, Medicare supplement plan c covers the following services:
• Travel emergency coverage (80% of approved costs up to plan limits)
• Medicare Part A and Part B deductibles
• Skilled nursing facility care coinsurance
Plan C does not pay for Medicare Part B excess expenses, which are the additional charges beyond the Medicare-approved amount to pay. Doctors may legally bill beyond the approved amount, and the patients will cover these extra costs.
Depending on the plan that you choose, you may have to pay for deductibles and other payables before you receive the benefits. Consult an insurance agent licensed to sell Medicare Supplement in your area for coverage and enrollment.
