It is known to us that Medicare Supplements plans or Medigap polices are sold to the consumers by the private organizations or companies. These types of insurance polices are totally part of private companies. But tall the schemes are created only to pay off the exceeding expenditure that your Original policy fails to cover so it cab said that these plans have close proximity with the Original Medicare plans. And it can also be said that these policies are not independent policies. So the bottom line is a person has to enroll his name at first for an Original Medicare Plans and after then only he can be under the Medicare Supplement Plans or Medigap Plans. However, the point to be mentioned is that the Medicare Supplement Plans are specially meant for bridging the gap between the policy coverage of the original Medicare plan and the actual medical cost payable by the beneficiary. This is a good reason why these plans are also known as the Medigap policies.

However, the Medicare Supplement Plans are totally administered and sold by the private health insurance companies and there are twelve standard Medigap plans available. There are a lot of medical costs that are covered by the Original Medicare plans. Rather to say almost all of the medical costs are covered by the original Medicare plans but still there remain some costs that the Original Medicare does not cover therefore in such situations there is the need for the Medicare Supplement Plans. It helps the beneficiary to pay for those costs are not been included under the policy coverage of the original Medicare plans. These plans range under the letter covers A through L and each of them have their own policy coverage. But all of these provide the basic benefits of plan A and B. The plans A and B are known as the basic plans as these plans provide benefits similar to the Original Medicare.

Now the Medigap policies are mostly under the administration of the private insurance companies the government have not much of hold on them. But the insurance companies are also allowed to sell only 12 standardized Medigap plans ranging from A through L. And according to the law, whatever company may sell the Medigap insurance the policies under the same letter cover should provide the same benefits. This means that if you buy a Medigap insurance plan under plan C, the company you are purchasing it is bound to provide the same benefits and coverage as provided by the other companies. But the amount of policy premium may differ from company to company. Each policy under the different letter covers has a different set of benefits. As for example starting from 2006, the Medigap Plans H, I, J, cannot be sold with prescription-drug benefit, although people who already had those policies prior to the date can keep them. All the twelve Medigap policies cover the basic benefits, but each one has some additional benefits along with them. In brief it can be said that the Plan A is the most basic plan.
