Medicare Supplement Plans Pennsylvania

To be eligible for a Pennsylvania Medicare Supplement Plan, you need to have Medicare Parts A and B.

There are two different scenario's when it comes to your Medicare Pennsylvania Enrollment, to find out what you need to do to enroll in Medicare, see below to find which fits your situation.

Medicare Supplement Plans, sometimes called Medigap Plans are set and standardized by CMS (Medicare).  They offer 10 plans but the three most popular are Plan F, Plan G and Plan N.

Medicare Supplement Plan N is one of the lowest cost Medicare Supplement Plans, but you will take on a little more risk and out-of-pocket costs.  With a Medigap Plan N you will have copay's of $20.00 for the doctor visits and a $50.00 for an emergency room visit.

Paying a copay is something that most people are used to, and does add some cost if and when you go to the doctor, but there is another fact of the Plan N that you need to be aware of.

The Plan N does not cover Medicare Part B excess charges, now this could be a big deal or nothing at all.  If a doctor accepts Medicare but is not assigned by Medicare he can legally charge you 15% over the Medicare approved amount.  You would then be responsible for that extra cost.

Pennsylvania, is one of the the states that do not allow any Part B excess charges.  This law is known as the M.O.M law (Medicare Overcharge Measure).  This means that doctors must accept Medicare Payment in full according to the Medicare approved payment schedule. With this fact, the Pennsylvania Medicare Supplement Plan N could be a very good fit.
