What is Medicare Supplement insurance?
Medicare Supplement insurance — often called "Medigap" — is sold by private insurance companies to help pay the out-of-pocket costs Original Medicare doesn't cover, such as deductibles, coinsurance, copayments and outpatient services.

Eligibility
Am I eligible for Medicare Supplement insurance?
You generally must be enrolled in Original Medicare Parts A & B, live in the state where the policy is offered, and be age 65+ (or under 65 with a qualifying disability in some states). The best time to buy is your 6-month Medigap open enrollment period — you can't be turned down for pre-existing conditions and won't be asked medical questions during that window.
