Quick answer

A Medigap plan, also called Medicare Supplement Insurance, is a private insurance policy that helps pay the deductibles, coinsurance and copayments Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) leaves behind. In the United States in 2027, Medigap plans are standardized by federal law into plans lettered A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M and N, and each letter covers the same benefits with every insurer.

In the United States in 2027, Medigap Plans C and F can be bought only by people who were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020, and Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin use their own Medigap plans instead of the letters.

Medigap plan comparison chart (2027)

What each standardized Medigap plan pays in the United States. Medigap plans are standardized by federal law, so a plan letter covers the same benefits whichever insurer sells it; the price is what differs. “100%” means the plan pays the whole benefit, a lower percentage means it pays that share, “No” means it does not cover it.

Plans C and F can be bought only by people who were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020; people new to Medicare since then can buy the other letters. Plans F and G also come in a high-deductible version that pays after a yearly deductible. * Plan N pays the Part B coinsurance except for a copayment for some office visits and for emergency-room visits that do not lead to an inpatient admission. ** Plans K and L pay 100% of covered services for the rest of the year once you reach their yearly out-of-pocket limit, which CMS sets each year. Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin standardize Medigap their own way, so this chart does not apply there.

Medigap questions (2027)

What is a Medigap plan for Medicare?
A Medigap plan, also called Medicare Supplement Insurance, is a private insurance policy that helps pay the deductibles, coinsurance and copayments Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) leaves behind. You keep Original Medicare, and the Medigap policy pays its share of covered costs after Medicare pays. Medigap works only with Original Medicare, not with a Medicare Advantage plan, and it does not cover prescription drugs.
What is the difference between Medigap Plan G and Plan N?
Both pay the Part A deductible, skilled nursing coinsurance and 80% of foreign travel emergencies, and neither pays the Part B deductible. Plan G also pays Part B excess charges; Plan N does not, and Plan N can charge a copayment for some office and emergency-room visits.
Can I still buy Medigap Plan C or Plan F?
Only if you were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020. People who became eligible on or after that date can buy Plans A, B, D, G, K, L, M and N.
What is the difference between Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement in the United States?
Medicare Advantage is a private plan that replaces how you get Part A and Part B, usually with a provider network and Part D drug coverage built in. A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy keeps Original Medicare and helps pay the deductibles and coinsurance it leaves behind; it has no network beyond doctors who take Medicare and does not include drug coverage, so most people add a Part D plan. You cannot use a Medigap policy to pay costs in a Medicare Advantage plan.
Do Medigap plans include prescription drug coverage?
No. Medigap plans sold today do not cover prescription drugs, so most people with Medigap also join a stand-alone Medicare Part D plan.
