What Does Medigap
Plan G Cover?
Like all Medicare Supplement plans, Plan G is federally standardized, meaning every Plan G policy includes identical coverage, regardless of insurance company. With Medicare Supplement Plan G you'll have almost no out-of-pocket medical expenses. Plan F is the most comprehensive Medigap plan, but Plan G is a close second. Plan G coverage is identical to Plan F with one exception: with Plan G you are responsible for the Medicare Part B deductible of $226 (in 2023).
Plan G covers:
-
Hospitalization: Part A coinsurance plus coverage for 365 additional days after Medicare benefits end.
-
Medical Expenses: after Part B deductible, plan pays remaining balance of Medicare-approved amounts (generally 20% after Medicare pays 80%).
-
Blood: First 3 pints of blood each year.
-
Hospice: Part A coinsurance.
-
Skilled Nursing Facility Care: up to 100 days of skilled nursing facility care.
-
Part B Excess Charges: 100% of Part B excess charges.
-
Foreign Travel Medical Services: after a $250 deductible during the first 60 days, Plan G pays 80% of the remainder of charges up to a lifetime maximum of $50,000.

Should You Choose Medigap Plan G?
Medicare Supplement Plan G is our most popular Medigap plan. Like Plan F, Plan G offers the security of knowing that regardless of your health, you'll have nearly all of your medical expenses covered by the plan. The only difference is that Plan G kicks in after your $226 Part B deductible is met.
Plan F is no longer available to those who weren't Medicare-eligible prior to 2020. Even if you are elgibile for Plan F, there are a few reasons you might choose Plan G over Plan F:
-
Lower premiums. Plan G has lower premiums than Plan F. If the annual premium savings with Plan G exceeds the $226 deductible covered by Plan F, then financially it makes sense to choose Plan G.
-
Price stability. Plan F will be eliminated for newly eligible enrollees in 2020. Those already enrolled in Part F will be able to keep their plans, however, most predict that once Plan F is eliminated, its premium rates will increase more than other plans.
