FAQ Friday: Does Medicare Supplement Plan G have co-pays?

Published: Aug. 3, 2018, 3:34 p.m.

b'The Medicare Supplement Plan G does not have any co-pays. How the Medicare Supplement Plan G works is Medicare is your primary insurance and Plan G picks up the Medicare approved amount for Medicare approved services. The Plan G pays the remaining balance. The only out of pocket cost you have with the Medicare Supplement Plan G is Medicare\\u2019s Part B annual deductible which is currently $183.00. There is some confusion with some people that have the Medicare Supplement Plan G and they may have had an agent tell them that they will have a co-pay. This is incorrect. A deductible is the amount of money that you have to pay before the insurance company steps in and pays what they\\u2019re supposed to pay. A deductible is not something you pay at the time of your service. A co-pay is a pre-negotiated price that you agree to pay with the insurance company that you have.'
