New Medicare Supplement strategy will present a
collection of options ranging from widespread
coverage that bridges Medicare gaps, to the
availability of packages presenting reasonably
priced monthly premiums and more unsurprising
co-payment structures that promote wellness by
making doctors visits more reasonable for
beneficiaries

The updates to the Medicare Supplement health
advantage plans are salutation news for Medicare
beneficiaries during these harsh economic times
because the policy align the payback with the
fresh updates made to the Medicare program, said
Krista Bowers, president of BCBSGA Senior
Business. The new efficient Medicare
Supplement plans offer peace of mind,
practicality and affordability that is in tune
with todays Medicare landscape. The new
Medicare complement plans are a result of the
Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers
Act (MIPPA) of 2008 that endorsed a new set of
Medicare Supplement insurance plans to replicate
the requirements of todays Medicare
beneficiaries.

A Medicare Supplement policy is a
supplemental health insurance plan sold by
private insurance companies to fill the gaps in
Original Medicare Plan coverage. Medicare
Supplement policies help pay some of the health
care costs that the Original Medicare Plan
doesnt cover.
If an individual is enrolled in the Original
Medicare Plan and has a Medicare Supplement
policy, then Medicare and Medicare Supplement
will pay both their shares of covered health care
costs

Although as of June 1, 2010 the current Medicare
procedure referred to as standardized plans
will no longer be open for new sales or new
association, Medicare beneficiaries who are at
present enrolled in a standardized or
pre-standardized Medicare Supplement plan can
preserve their recent plans as long as their
premium expenditures are recent.
