Medicare SELECT
Medicare SELECT is a Medigap plan that requires the beneficiary to use
a network of providers. All of the standardized Plans A through J may
be offered as Medicare SELECT policies, although not all plans are available
in all states.
A Medicare SELECT plan may lower the cost of a Medigap
policy through the use of a network of providers. If you enroll in a
Medicare SELECT
plan, you must use a provider in the network to get full insurance benefits
(except in an emergency).
Sondra comments, "We would like to continue
to use our own family doctors, so I don't think Medicare SELECT
is for us. Are there any other options we should consider?"
The
agent responds,"You may want to consider a plan that offers
a high deductible. Let's take a look at this option." |
