Medicare supplement insurance policies may have added no cost benefits

Often, when seniors are choosing their Medicare supplemental plans, or Medigap, they overlook the added no cost benefits. Obtaining such benefits can save seniors thousands of dollars each year. Directory

According to the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance (AAMSI) each year approximately 35 million people turn 65, thus becoming eligible for Medicare. Roughly 13.1 million people have Medigap. Some, but not all, of the Medigap policies now offer, no cost benefits. Seniors considering Medicare options should ask questions of their insurance agents about the various benefits attached to Medigap policies.

The added benefits programs offer free access to gyms and fitness centers, discounts on eyeglasses, eye exams, discounts on hearing aids and exams. The list of benefits is varied and each Medigap plan may have its own no cost benefits to entice seniors. The American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance holds an online for consumers seeking to connect with Medicare agents. Remember, you need to ask about benefits or you may miss out.
