Medicare Plan F

For quite some time, Medicare Plan F has been the most popular plan available to Medicare shoppers. It used to be the most frequently purchased of all the Medigap plans because of its comprehensive coverage, but is Medicare Supplement Plan F the best deal for you?

Medicare Supplement Plan F

Often referred to as the “Cadillac” of Medigap plans – Plan F has the most benefits of all the Medicare supplement plans. Let’s look more closely into Plan F and find out if it’s the right plan for you. When you’re done, make sure to read about the other Medicare plans available below.

Medicare Part F and Plan F – What’s the difference?

Medicare can get quite confusing with all of their letters. Original Medicare has 4 Parts – A, B, C and D. However, Medigap plans also have letters – like Plan B or Plan D. For example, Plan B and Part B sound the same, but are completely different. So what about Part F or Plan F? Here’s what you need to know:

  • There is no such thing as Medicare “Part F”.
  • There is a Medicare Supplement Plan F (aka Medigap Plan F)

For some reason the term or phrase “Part F” caught on and it has been confusing people ever since. Just know that Medigap Plan F is an insurance policy that has the most coverage out of all the other Medigap plans.
