Yes. Starting in 2006, Medigap supplement policies will include two new kinds of benefit packages that you can choose to buy, to help with out-of pocket costs. No new Medigap policies with drug coverage (plans H, I, and J) will be sold. If you have a Medigap policy with drug coverage, you can choose to renew it. Or, if you choose to join a Medicare prescription drug plan in 2006, you won’t be allowed to renew your current Medigap policy.
