Medicare Part A Coinsurance: This is known as hospital insurance. Note that inpatient hospital stays covered by Medicare Part A require coinsurance fees if they exceed 60 days. Medigap Plan N pays for all of your Part A coinsurance fees.
Medicare Part A Deductible: When you are admitted for inpatient hospital care, you are required to meet a Part A deductible. That (2023) amount is $1,600 per benefit period. You could potentially have to pay the Part A deductible more than one time in a single year. Medigap Plan N covers your deductible in full for each benefit period you require.
Medicare Part B Coinsurance and Copayment: Part B usually charges a coinsurance and copayments for doctor visits and other outpatient care. Medicare Part B typically pays for 80% of the Medicare-approved amount for covered services. You typically have to pay 20% coinsurance in most cases (after you meet your Part B deductible for the year).
Plan N will fully pay for your Part B coinsurance costs, except for a copayment of up to $20 for some office visits. A second copayment of up to $50 could be required for emergency room visits that do not result in an inpatient admission.
First 3 Pints of Blood: Should you ever require a blood transfusion as part of a medical procedure, Original Medicare only covers the costs for the 4th pint of blood and beyond. And if you need blood while in the hospital, Plan N cover the cost of the first 3 pints.
Part A Hospice Care Coinsurance or Copayment: Medicare Part A covers hospice care services. There are required copayments. Plan N fully covers the costs of your hospice care coinsurance and copayments.
Foreign Travel Emergency Care: BecauseOriginal Medicare generally does not pay for medical care provided outside of the United States, a Plan N can help. A Medigap Plan N pays for 80% of the costs of your qualified emergency medical care when you travel outside of the U.S.
