Medicare Supplement insurance is also called “Medigap.” It’s a plan you can add to Original Medicare to pay for things that Parts A and B don’t cover. You’ll want to be enrolled in Original Medicare before you add a Medicare Supplement plan.
Medicare Supplement insurance plans help with Medicare costs like your coinsurance, copays, or the Part B deductible. As an Anthem member, you’ll have also access to our popular fitness program, SilverSneakers®.
