Medicare Plan M

Medicare Plan M, also known as Medigap Plan M, is an insurance plan sold by companies. Medigap plans cover some of the health care costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover.

What Medicare Plan M Covers

Medigap Plan M gives you the same basic coverage and benefits as some of the other supplement plans. The biggest difference is that Plan M’s coverage isn’t comprehensive which results in a lower monthly premium. Let’s look into what Medigap Plan M covers.

Medigap Plan M Pros and Cons

Let’s look into the advantages and disadvantages of Medicare supplement Plan M.

Pros

Medicare Supplement Plan M closely resembles one of the most popular Medicare supplement plans, Plan N. This is because Plan M still offers a decent amount of coverage and low monthly premiums. Medigap Plan M was designed as an option for Medicare shoppers to get lower premiums by being responsible for more medical expenses. In other words – a little less coverage for a lower premium.

Cons

Medigap Plan M offers less coverage compared to Plan N. The biggest disadvantages of Plan M are that it doesn’t provide any coverage for Excess Charges or the Part B Deductible. However, Plan M will only cover half of your Part A deductible and won’t require co-payments. This last point is the biggest difference between Plan M and Plan N.
