Plan
F also has high deductible options, which some companies may offer. These
high deductible plans pay the same benefits as Plan F and J after one has paid
a calendar year $2000 deductible. Benefits from high deductible Plans
F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses exceed $2000.
Plans K through N provide for different cost-sharing for items and services
than Plans A through G. With Plans K and L, once you reach your annual
"out-of-pocket limit," the plan will then 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." The annual
out-f-pocket limits for these plans in 2010 are $4620 for Plan K, and $2310
for Plan L. With
Plan M you pay 50% of your Part A Deductible, as well as the entire Part B deductible
($155 in 2010). Plan N pays all of your Part A Deductible, and you pay the entire
Part B deductible ($155 in 2010) plus a $20 copayment for office visits and
a $50 copayment for Emergency Room visits. After
the Medicare Supplement plan is mailed or delivered, you have a 30-day free
look to examine the plan and to decide if you want to keep it. If you
return the plan within 30 days, all of your money will be refunded. Note:
Not all plans are available in all states. Run an instant
