We’ll wrap up by answering some frequently asked questions and reviewing how to enroll in a Bankers Fidelity Supplemental Medicare insurance plan.

Bankers Fidelity Medicare Supplement plans

Regarding complete coverage, Medicare Supplements are where the buck stops. These plans work together with the Medicare program to limit and sometimes eliminate your out-of-pocket costs when using healthcare coverage. These costs include copayments, Medicare Part B coinsurance, and deductibles.

There are ten Medicare Supplement insurance plans to choose from. Bankers Fidelity offers a variety of them. However, most members choose one of the top three plans in the nation. It’s hard to beat the price and coverage levels of Medigap Plan F, Plan G, and Plan N.

Plan F and G both have a high deductible option. These plans are designated HDF and HDG.

Medicare Supplement policies are called Medigap policies because they cover the gaps in Original Medicare. Medicare Supplement health insurance plans must have the same coverage regardless of which company you choose to enroll with. They don’t include drug coverage.

Bankers Fidelity Medicare Advantage plans

Medicare Part C is named Medicare Advantage. These plans include all your Medicare Part and Part B benefits. In most cases, your prescription drug coverage is also included. Medicare Advantage plans are required to provide an annual maximum out-of-pocket limit.

In addition to having all these benefits compiled into one plan, they will typically have additional benefits and coverages that Medicare doesn’t cover. Many programs include gym memberships, over-the-counter benefits, dental, vision, and hearing coverage.

Bankers Fidelity doesn’t sell Medicare Advantage plans. If you want more information on Medicare Advantage, please let us know. We can have one of our licensed insurance agents assist you with finding an insurance carrier that does.

Bankers Fidelity Medicare Part D

Part D coverage is for picking up prescriptions at the pharmacy. Part D coverage is obtained through a stand-alone drug plan or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage.
