- A.
Helps pay the deductibles and coinsurances of Original Medicare
- B.

- C.

Correct Answer
A. Helps pay the deductibles and coinsurances of Original MedicareExplanation
A Medigap plan helps pay the deductibles and coinsurances of Original Medicare. This means that it provides additional coverage to fill the gaps in Medicare coverage. Medigap plans are designed to help beneficiaries pay for out-of-pocket costs that are not covered by Original Medicare, such as deductibles and coinsurances. Unlike Medicare Advantage plans, Medigap plans do not replace Original Medicare. Instead, they work alongside it to provide additional financial protection and coverage. Medigap plans also do not require the use of a specific provider network, allowing beneficiaries the freedom to choose their healthcare providers.Rate this question:

Therefore, if a customer is new to Medicare Part B, they may consider enrolling in a Medigap plan to help cover the out-of-pocket costs associated with Part B services.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Long-term careExplanation
Medigap plans are supplemental insurance policies that help cover the costs that Original Medicare does not cover. However, they do not cover long-term care expenses. Long-term care refers to the assistance needed for individuals who have difficulty performing daily activities such as bathing, eating, or dressing due to illness, disability, or aging. These services are typically provided in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or at home, and Medigap plans do not provide coverage for these types of care.Rate this question:

Rates will increase is an important consideration to share with the customer for a Medigap. This is because Medigap plans are subject to rate increases over time. It is important for the customer to be aware of this potential increase in order to plan and budget accordingly. Additionally, understanding that rates will increase can help the customer make an informed decision when choosing a Medigap plan that best fits their needs and budget.Rate this question:
