Medicare Supplement Plan N is a standardized Medicare Supplement insurance plan available in most states nationwide. As a Medicare Supplement, this plan helps cover certain cost-sharing expenses that would otherwise be your responsibility with Original Medicare.

What is the difference between Medigap plan D and plan N?

The benefits of Medigap Plan N are similar to Plan D's policy, the sole exception being how it covers Medicare Part B coinsurance costs. Under Medigap Plan N, 100% of the Part B coinsurance costs are covered, except up to a $20 copayment for office visits and up to $50 for emergency room visits.

What is the difference between Medicare Plan G and Medicare Plan N?

This is where the differences between Plan G and N start. Plan G covers 100% of all Medicare-covered expenses once your Part B deductible has been met for the year.

What's the difference between plan G and plan N?

Plan G and Plan N premiums are lower to reflect that. Plan G will typically have higher premiums than Plan N because it includes more coverage.

What is the difference between plan F and N?

Plan N premiums are typically lower than Plan F premiums, meaning, you spend less out of pocket monthly with Plan N than you will with Plan F. However, Plan F covers more out-of-pocket expenses.
