Aetna Medicare Supplement

Medicare supplement insurance plans help fill the gaps of Original Medicare by bringing down your out-of-pocket costs. For example, while Medicare Part B covers 80% of your medical services, a Medigap plan could help cover the remaining 20%. Each plan offers additional benefits that can make one better suited for you over another.

Aetna is a highly popular health insurance company that offers coverage for seven of the 10 Medigap plans available – A, B, D, G, N, C and F. To qualify for Aetna’s Medigap plans, you must be enrolled in Original Medicare parts A and B and live in a state where the plans are offered.

All Aetna Medigap plans offer nonrestrictive provider networks, allowing you to see any doctor who accepts Medicare patients. Additionally, you don’t need a referral to see a specialist.

Although Aetna also offers Medicare Advantage plans, you cannot combine them with a Medicare supplement plan. The Medicare Advantage plan exists to take the place of an Original Medicare plan. Aetna’s Medicare supplement plan functions as an add-on for Original Medicare plans.

While supplement plans can help reduce your health care costs, there are still advantages and disadvantages that come with choosing a Medigap plan from Aetna.

The cost of Aetna’s Medigap plans fluctuate depending on your age, sex and location.
