What are the benefit differences in the new Medigap policies?
The benefit differences are as follows: • None of the new policies will include a benefit for preventive care because Medicare now covers many of the preventive services that were covered under this benefit. • None of the new policies include a benefit for home recovery. This was a complicated benefit that few people ever used. • The basic benefits of Medigap plans A through G include an additional benefit for the out-of-pocket costs imposed by the Medicare Hospice benefit.
