* Plan G also offers a high-deductible plan. If you choose this option, this means you must pay for Medicare-covered costs up to the deductible amount of $2,800 in 2024 before your Medigap plan pays anything.

** After you meet your out-of-pocket yearly limit and your yearly Part B deductible, the Medigap plan pays 100% of covered services for the rest of the calendar year.

*** Plan N pays 100% of the Part B coinsurance, except for a copayment of up to $20 for some office visits and up to a $50 copayment for emergency room visits that don’t result in inpatient admission.

Note, Plans F and C are not available to everyone. If you were eligible for Medicare after January 1st, 2024, you will not be able to sign up for Plans F or C. However, if you were eligible for Medicare before January 1st, 2024, you will still be able to sign up for Plan F or C.

Plan G comes with either a standard or a higher $2,800 deductible. With the $2,800-deductible plan, you pay for $2,800 worth of Medicare-covered costs, such as co-insurance, co-payments and deductibles, before Plan G coverage begins. In exchange, premiums are lower on the high-deductible plan than on the standard-deductible plan. After the deductible has been met, the high-deductible Plan F and G pay the same benefits as the standard-deductible version.

Once you reach the annual out-of-pocket limit on either Plan K or Plan L, that plan will pay 100% of the Medicare co-payment, co-insurance and deductibles for the rest of the calendar year. The out-of-pocket limit does not include charges for any provider that exceeds Medicare-approved amounts, known as excess charges.

With Plan M, you pay 50% of the Part A deductible ($1,632 per benefit period), as well as the entire Part B deductible for the calendar year ($240).

Plan N pays all of the Part A deductible, and you pay the Part B deductible plus a $20 co-payment for some doctor appointments and a $50 co-payment for trips to the Emergency Room.

Part B Excess Charges can occur if a doctor doesn’t accept Medicare’s approved amount. Medicare will pay 80% of the amount it sets for specific doctor services. If Medicare pays 80% on a service it says should cost $100 and a doctor charges you $100, Medicare pays $80 and you owe $20. If the doctor charges you $120, however, Medicare will still pay $80 and you owe $40. Medigap Plan G will take care of those excess charges for you.
