Medigap Plan F

Medigap Plan F has been one of the most popular Medicare supplement plans because it covers all out-of-pocket costs, including deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. It provides full coverage for medical expenses, so you pay nothing out of pocket for covered services. However, Plan F is only available to those who became eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020.

What does Medicare Supplement Plan F cover?

Medigap Plan F covers all remaining costs after Original Medicare pays its share, meaning you won’t have any out-of-pocket expenses for covered services.

Plan F covers:

● Original Medicare Part A’s deductible

● Part B deductible

● Part B excess charges

● Part A coinsurance and hospital costs up to an additional 365 days after Medicare’s benefits are all used up

● Part B coinsurance or copayments

● First three pints of blood used in an approved medical procedure

● Skilled nursing facility coinsurance

● 80% of a foreign travel emergency (up to plan limits)

Medigap Plan F is popular because it covers all gaps in Original Medicare, including hospital and outpatient deductibles, leaving you with no out-of-pocket costs for doctor visits.

Are Medicare Supplement Plans worth the money?

Medigap Plan F can save you money if you visit the doctor often or need frequent or long hospital stays.

In addition to eliminating out-of-pocket expenses, here are some other benefits:

● Choose your own doctor

● No referrals required to see specialists

● Guaranteed renewable — your coverage can’t be canceled due to health or number of claims

How much can I save with a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan?

Medicare Part A has a deductible you must pay before coverage begins, plus daily hospital copays after 60 days.

Medigap Plan F covers all these costs, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket. In some cases, a Medigap plan can pay for itself after just one hospital visit.

With a Medigap plan from MAC Insurance, you get competitive rates and can see any doctor who accepts Medicare—no need to check if they take your supplement. Just confirm they accept Medicare, and your plan will cover the rest.

Be sure to choose a Standard Medicare Supplement Policy, not a Medigap Select plan.

Differences Between Plan F and Plan G

Plans F and G offer nearly the same coverage, but Plan F also pays the Medicare Part B deductible. However, Plan G usually has lower monthly premiums, so even though you pay the Part B deductible yourself, Plan G may still save you money overall.

Keep in mind, Plan F is only available to those who turned 65 before January 1, 2020.

For 2025, Plan G remains the most comprehensive option for new Medicare enrollees.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO BE ADVISED ON:

What is the difference between Medicare Part F and Medigap Plan F?

There is no difference. "Part F" is incorrect terminology, as Medicare only has Parts A, B, C, and D.

Will my Medigap Plan F coverage change if I move to a different state?

If you move to a different state, you can keep your Medigap Plan F, but your premium may change depending on your new location.

Are all Plan F policies identical?

Medicare supplements are standardized, so every plan with the same letter offers the same coverage, no matter which insurance company provides it.

Is Plan F still available?

Yes, but only for Medicare beneficiaries who turned 65 before January 1, 2020.

Is Plan F the best plan?

The best Medigap plan is the one that gives you the most coverage for a price you can afford. Plan F provides the most complete coverage among all Medigap plans.

Which is better, Plan F or Plan G?

Plan F covers a little more than Plan G, but it's only available to those who turned 65 before January 1, 2020. For anyone who became eligible after that date, Plan G offers the most coverage. However, Plan F usually has higher premiums, which might offset the extra benefits it provides.

Is Plan F a better choice than Medicare Advantage?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on your needs and preferences. If you want the freedom to choose any doctor that accepts Medicare, Plan F is a better option. If keeping your monthly costs low is your priority, a Medicare Advantage plan might be the right choice.
