Arizona Medicare Supplement Plans Overview
Medicare supplement plans in Arizona, sold by private companies, can help pay some health care costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover like co-payments, coinsurance and deductibles. With our Arizona Medicare Supplement Plans Comparison Tool you can evaluate options that are available to you. These plans are also known as Medigap plans.
Some Arizona Medicare supplement plans also offer coverage for services that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like medical care when you travel outside the country. If you have Original Medicare and you buy a Medicare Supplement plan, Medicare will pay its share of the Medicare-approved amount for covered health care costs. Then your supplement plan pays its share of the cost.
Arizona Medicare Supplement Plans are different from Medicare Advantage Plans. Those plans are different ways to get Medicare benefits while a supplement plan just supplements your Original Medicare benefits.
