Medicare Supplement or Medigap Plan N is one of the newest Standardized Medicare Supplement Plans. It was first introduced in 2010 along with Medigap Plan M. Plan N is unique in that it has a cost-sharing structure in the form of copays.
With a Plan N, you will have a $20 copay under most circumstances when you visit your doctor. There is also a $50 copay for emergency room visits that don’t require admittance into the hospital. As a result, frivolous visits to the doctor and emergency room are reduced saving the insurance company in claims.
Medigap Plan N Has Fewer Rate Increases
Due to the reduced claims with Plan N, rate increases are likely to be lower and fewer. Over the long term, your savings by owning a Plan N can really add up.
Depending on availability in your area, a Plan N Medicare Supplement could be the best choice. Here are articles and information to help you decide.

Congratulations, if you are comparing Medigap Plan G and Medigap Plan N you are on the right track. Both are great Medicare Supplement Plans for a variety of reasons and worth your consideration.
Medigap Plan F or Plan N, which is right for you? Ever since it was introduced in 2010, the Plan N Medicare Supplement has been a favorite recommendation of mine. Unfortunately, when shopping, most people don’t even consider it. They tend to gravitate towards the more popular Plan F because of it’s seemingly more comprehensive coverage.
