What Do Bankers Fidelity Medicare Supplement Plans Cover?

Also known as Medigap, Bankers Fidelity Medicare Supplement plans work with Original Medicare Parts A and B. They help reduce your out-of-pocket costs by lowering or eliminating copays, coinsurance payments, and deductibles. Coverage is valid at Medicare-participating doctors and hospitals across the United States even when traveling. Medicare Supplement policies are compatible with Part D plans that can lower your prescription drug costs.

Bankers Fidelity offers all types of standardized Medicare Supplement plans, but not all are available in every state. Some states offer preferred or standard plans within a specific plan type. You can contact a Bankers Fidelity agent to discuss the difference between plans, optional or additional benefits, and cost savings. Policies are guaranteed renewable, as long as you pay your premiums.

Bankers Fidelity Medicare Supplement Plan Options

There are 10 universal Medigap policies known as plans A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, and N, including standardized benefits and copay reductions. Plans C and F are only available to existing Medicare enrollees who became eligible for Medicare before 2020. New beneficiaries can sign up for a Medigap plan without restrictions during their seven-month initial enrollment period. Otherwise, insurers can base eligibility on your medical history.

Except for Plan F, you’re responsible for paying your $226 Part B deductible (in 2023) for medical services and diagnostics. Medigap policies can reduce or eliminate your Part A hospital deductible, which can save you up to $1,600 per benefit period in 2023. Some plans may pick up excess charges beyond Medicare-approved amounts, and they can limit your out-of-pocket expenses.

Monthly premiums vary by age, tobacco use, and gender of the applicant. Keep in mind that Medigap plans are per person, so if you’re married, both you and your spouse need to purchase one. All of Bankers Fidelity Medigap plans have issue age pricing.
