Overview of Capitol Life’s Medicare Supplement Plans
Medicare Supplement insurance, also known as Medigap, helps cover costs such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that are not paid by Original Medicare (Parts A and B). Capitol Life offers a range of standardized Medigap plans that provide additional financial protection for Medicare beneficiaries.
Capitol Life offers several Medigap plans, which may include:
- Plan A: Covers essential benefits, including Medicare Part A coinsurance and hospital costs, as well as Part B coinsurance or copayments.
- Plan F (if available): Provides extensive coverage, including Part A and Part B deductibles, foreign travel emergency care, and excess charges. Note: Plan F is only available to those we were enrolled in medicare prior to Jan 1st, 2020.
- Plan G: Similar to Plan F but does not cover the Medicare Part B deductible.
- Plan N: Offers lower premiums with cost-sharing for certain services, such as Part B copayments and excess charges.
Availability of these plans may vary by state due to regulatory differences.
These plans are standardized, meaning the benefits for each plan type are consistent across all insurers. However, premiums may vary based on factors like age, location, and selected coverage.
Eligibility and Enrollment
To enroll in a Capitol Life Medicare Supplement plan, applicants must be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B.
The Medigap Open Enrollment Period lasts for six months starting from the first month a person is both 65 or older and enrolled in Part B. During this period, applicants cannot be denied coverage or charged higher premiums due to pre-existing conditions. Outside this period, medical underwriting may be required unless a guaranteed issue right applies.
