Out-of-Pocket Costs

ImagePhoebe concludes that the following factors contribute to her out-of-pocket costs:

  • Whether her doctor accepts "assignment"
  • How often she requires health care
  • What type of health care she needs
  • Whether she has other health insurance
  • What health care services she might require in the future

Her decision to buy a Medigap policy and the type of policy she purchases will also impact her out-of-pocket costs.

Phoebe continues reading the Choosing A Medigap Policy: 2003 Guide To Health Insurance For People With Medicare to determine what is covered by Medigap.
