Major alterations for the Medicare supplement insurance program come about very soon. Two brand new plans will be released in addition to four others taken out in these important modifications which go live on June 1, 2010.
James Preston, manager of the Medicare Supplemental Insurance Guide, said Medicare health insurance users ought to pay close attention and discover changes to available Medigap plans.
"There are two innovative plans being brought in by Medicare while quite a few others are going to be no longer out there," said Preston. "If you buy before the June 1st deadline, you will not be impacted."
Preston said a few of the other improvements taking place at this point include removing the home recovery and precautionary care benefit, the benefit for excess charges in Plan G will go up to 100 % and a hospice benefit will be included with the core benefits of Medigap Plans A to G.
"For people with further concerns about these benefits, I suggest you go to our web page at http://medicaresupplementalinsurances.com or visit your area health insurance agent," said Preston. "You could also phone Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE to inquire about the changes."
