Yes, you can get a Medicare supplement plan in Texas. Medicare supplement plans, also known as Medigap, are private health insurance plans that help pay for some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover. In Texas, there are 10 Medicare supplement plans available, each with its own set of benefits.

To be eligible for a Medicare supplement plan, you must:

• Be enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B
• Have lived in the United States for at least five years (or three years if you’re a legal resident)
• Not have end-stage renal disease (ESRD)

There are many benefits to having a Medicare supplement plan. Some of the most common benefits include:

• Reduced out-of-pocket costs. Medicare supplement plans can help you pay for some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. This can save you a lot of money on your health care costs.
• Peace of mind. Knowing that you have a plan that will help pay for your health care costs can give you peace of mind. This can be especially important if you have a chronic illness or if you are at risk for developing a chronic illness.
• Access to quality care. Medicare supplement plans give you access to quality care from doctors and hospitals that participate in Medicare. This means that you can see the doctor or go to the hospital that you want, without having to worry about whether they are in your network.
• Choice. There are many different Medicare supplement plans available, so you can choose the plan that best meets your needs and budget.

You can purchase a Medicare supplement plan during your Medicare open enrollment period, which is the seven-month period that starts three months before the month you turn 65. You can also purchase a Medicare supplement plan outside of open enrollment if you have a qualifying event, such as losing your employer-sponsored health insurance.

The cost of Medicare supplement plans varies depending on the plan you choose, your age, and your health. If you’re considering purchasing a Medicare supplement plan, it’s important to compare different plans and choose the one that’s right for you.
