Supplemental Health Insurance for Seniors
Medicare is a federal system of health insurance for senior citizens aged 65 and older designed to pay for certain medical expenses. With this there are large gaps in the coverage necessary for some seniors. To help with the cost of these omissions in coverage many seniors choose to add a supplemental insurance policy to add to Medicare called Medigap coverage.
Supplemental Insurance Selection
Once eligible for Medicare you know exactly what your specific Medicare plan includes. Then you will be able to assess the type of care needed for the future. Based on your long-term health care needs you can then consider adding supplemental health insurance to your Medicare plan for more complete coverage.
An important part of any senior citizen's health care plan is their Medicare supplemental insurance. Let our team of advisors help guide you toward a policy that will work for both your health care needs and your budget. American Health Services can help get you the Medigap coverage that pays some of the health care costs that Medicare doesn't cover.
