Before you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider Medicare Supplements (Medigap). Your choices now can affect your future when you are nearing 65. Choosing the right supplemental insurance to suit your needs, however, can be a complicated process. You can rely on our knowledgeable agents to help you sort through all the options available.
Basic Medicare coverage is available to everyone 65 years and older, but it typically only covers about 64 percent of annual health care costs. In addition to the expenses not covered by Medicare, there are deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. At THZ Insurance, we can assist you in your #state:t# insurance coverage, which is why many choose Medicare Supplements.
Part A and Part B of Medicare were designed to help retirees with their South Carolina health insurance. If you add Medicare Part B, it is advisable to add your supplements within the first six months. You must be accepted for Medigap during this period, also known as "guaranteed issue rights". You cannot be cancelled as long as you pay the premiums. For pre-existing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or cancer, you can be turned down after 6 months for a supplement policy.
There is a wide variety of plans available through South Carolina Medicare Supplemental Health Insurance and each plan is identified by a single letter. Plans are designed to reduce the cost of deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance. Most plans cover prescriptions, vision, and dental care. The different plans allow you to choose your own doctors, hospitals and specialists that accept Medicare patients and specialists. Traveling anywhere in the United States and taking your coverage with you is easy.
It's common for Medicare Supplements to vary greatly among carriers depending on age, location, gender, and health. You don't have to sort through this on your own; at Sawyer-Phillips Insurance, we're committed to searching for the most affordable and adequate insurance coverage for all your needs.
