Medicare Supplement Plan F
The Medicare Supplement Plan F policy helps pay your Medicare deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. Most notably, Plan F covers the Medicare Part B calendar year deductible, which most other plans do not. This plan has the most coverage and the lowest out-of-pocket costs for Medicare-covered services.
