Medigap Plan N is a Medicare Supplement policy for people enrolled in Original Medicare. Medigap plans help pay some costs that Original Medicare leaves behind, but they do not replace Medicare Part A and Part B.
What Plan N covers
Plan N covers many standardized Medigap benefits, including Part A coinsurance and hospital costs after Original Medicare benefits are used. It also covers Part B coinsurance, subject to Plan N’s rules.
What you may still pay
Plan N can require a copayment of up to $20 for some office visits and up to $50 for emergency room visits that do not result in an inpatient admission. Plan N also does not cover Part B excess charges. Ask whether your providers accept Medicare assignment.
Plan N does not cover prescription drugs, routine dental care, routine vision care, or long-term care. Those needs require separate coverage or out-of-pocket planning.
How to compare it
- Compare premiums from available insurers in your area.
- Ask how the insurer prices premiums and how rates can change.
- Confirm your doctors accept Medicare and understand excess-charge rules.
- Review enrollment timing and whether medical underwriting may apply.
