Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans:
A Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan, also known as Medigap Insurance extends beyond your basic Medicare insurance coverage to offer additional options for medical expenses. Original Medicare leaves gaps or holes in your health insurance coverage. Supplement Insurance Plans fill these gaps leaving you with extensive coverage that fits all of your medical needs. There are so many Medigap Insurance Plans that choosing the best option for you can be time consuming and at times an overwhelming burden. More times than not, the same Medicare Supplemental Plans will be quoted at different prices for different companies. For example, Plan F from Company A and Plan F from Company B are exactly the same. However, Company A has a higher monthly premium by about $50. Without proper searching you would have lost $600 in one year. This is where MedicareMall comes in, we realize that your financial circumstances are unique. We compare the top rated companies and plan options to find the coverage and rates that best fits your needs. While others claim to shop the competition on your behalf, MedicareMall delivers.
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D):
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans or Medicare Part D plans pay some of the costs for prescription drugs at participating pharmacies in your area. The program is voluntary and can be especially helpful for people who have high prescription drug costs and no prescription drug coverage. Like Medicare Part B, there are monthly premiums, deductibles, and co-payments. To receive this benefit, you must pick a plan offered by a private insurance company approved by Medicare. If you miss your Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or Medicare Part D enrollment deadline you must wait until the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period before you can enroll for a January 1 effective date. You will be assessed a 1% monthly penalty retroactive back to your Medicare Part B effective date for as long as you have Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.
If you already have a Medicare prescription drug plan, review your current Medicare Prescription Drug Plan benefits and costs as these are subject to change every year. Each plan can vary in cost and prescription drugs covered. Your Medicare Prescription Drug Plan monthly premium could be higher based on your income. There is Extra Help for people with limited income and resources. If you qualify for extra help, Medicare will pay for almost all of your prescription drug costs.
Like other insurance, if you join, generally you will pay a monthly premium, which varies by plan, and a yearly Deductible which also varies by plan. You will also pay a part of the cost of your prescriptions, including a co-payment or coinsurance. If your current prescription drug plan is creditable coverage, you will not have to pay a late enrollment penalty (higher premium) if you wait to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan after you’re first eligible. If you qualify for Extra Help, your prescription drugs will be no more than the maximum allowed by the Low Income Subsidy program based on the level of assistance that you qualify for. Our goal at MedicareMall is to find you the best Medicare prescription drug plan with the lowest monthly premium, the lowest deductibles, the lowest co pays, and most importantly minimizes your exposure to the “donut hole” or gap in coverage.
Senior Dental, Vision, and Hearing Insurance Plans:
Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans provide excellent benefits from doctors and surgeons, but what about dentists, optometrists, ophthalmologists, and audiologists? We have available to you, three types of plans to save you money both at the doctors and out of pocket every moth. The three types of plans are: Dental, Vision, and Hearing Insurance Plans.

Vision can become more of a problem as people age, so you may find yourself becoming more dependent on optometrists and ophthalmologists as you get older. Senior Vision Insurance Plans will allow you to do this by offering coverage options for eye exams and corrective eye wear.Your vision health is actually an indicator of the condition of other parts of your body. Poor vision could be a sign of diabetes, hypertension and even high cholesterol. Older adults usually suffer from presbyopia, otherwise known as “old eyes.” The condition is natural weakening in visual ability and can be managed with corrective vision like glasses or contacts. A senior vision program will help you pay for single vision lenses, trifocal and bifocal lenses, frames, and contacts.
Hearing impairment affects a vast number of people over the age of 65. Hearing aids are the main feature of any Senior Hearing Insurance Plans. A hearing aid is defined as an amplifying device that compensates for your impaired hearing. Hearing aids are excluded from Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans A-N coverage options. Paying for hearing aids on your own can be extremely expensive. Having to replace these devices can leave you spending more money to continue to experience the joys of hearing and communicating. General wear and tear could induce electronic failures or amplification problems and hearing aid insurance will cover this as well.
Know your senior health insurance eligibility requirements:
Like most insurances there are certain eligibility requirements that all future beneficiaries must meet before qualifying for a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans. First off, all applicants must have Part A and Part B of Medicare. The Medigap Insurance Plans are designed to cover what original Medicare does not. The second requirement is age, you must be 65 or older to qualify. Some Medigap Plans do offer coverage to those under the age of 65, but at a much higher rate and often times you choice of plans are limited to one or two offering the most basic of coverage. Another factor that is looked at is your answers to the health questions. Some of the Medicare Supplement Companies do offer a Guaranteed Issue Plan options, but availability is limited by company and state as some states do not allow guaranteed issue plans of any kind.
