Medigap Plan N offers comprehensive coverage for Medicare beneficiaries, providing financial protection against various healthcare costs.
Medicare Part A Coinsurance and Hospital Costs: Plan N covers coinsurance or copayments for hospital stays, including inpatient care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health services.
Medicare Part B Coinsurance or Copayments: Beneficiaries are covered for coinsurance or copayments for Medicare Part B services, including doctor visits, outpatient care, durable medical equipment, and some preventive services.
Blood Coverage: Plan N covers the first three pints of blood each year, ensuring beneficiaries have access to necessary blood transfusions without facing additional out-of-pocket expenses.
Hospice Care Coinsurance or Copayments: Beneficiaries are covered for coinsurance or copayments associated with hospice care, including respite care and prescription drugs for pain relief.
Skilled Nursing Facility Care Coinsurance: Plan N provides coverage for coinsurance for skilled nursing facility care, ensuring beneficiaries have access to necessary rehabilitation services following a hospital stay.
While Plan N offers comprehensive coverage, it does not cover all healthcare costs. Some services and expenses that Plan N does not cover include:
Medicare Part B Deductible: Beneficiaries are responsible for paying the Medicare Part B deductible out-of-pocket before Plan N coverage begins each year.
Medicare Part B Excess Charges: Plan N does not cover Medicare Part B excess charges, which are additional costs that providers may charge above Medicare-approved amounts.
Preventive Care Services: Services like routine check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations not covered by Medicare are also not included in Plan N
To be eligible for Medigap Plan N, beneficiaries must already be enrolled in both Medicare Part A and Part B. The enrollment process typically begins during the Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which lasts for six months and starts on the first day of the month when beneficiaries are 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this period, beneficiaries have guaranteed issue rights, meaning insurance companies cannot deny coverage or charge higher premiums based on pre-existing conditions.
Understanding the coverage provided by Medigap Plan N and its eligibility criteria can help beneficiaries make informed decisions about their healthcare coverage needs.
