Which Medigap Plans Cover Copays?
Plan N pays 100% of the costs of Part B services, except for copayments on office visits and some emergency room visits.[10]
Medigap Plan K will cover about 50% of your copays and Plan L will cover about 75%.[10]
Plans F and G cover the most amount of out-of-pocket healthcare expenses with original Medicare but cost more each month.[11]
A Part C, or Medicare Advantage (MA), replaces original Medicare's Parts A and B, but has higher monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Some MA plans brag about zero dollar premiums, but make sure they offer all that a good MA plan has to offer, like prescription drug coverage, dental, vision and hearing coverage as well.

You cannot buy MA, Part C and Medicare supplements. You can only buy Part C or Medigap.

Three-quarters of people aged 50-64 buy prescription drugs, while 91% of those aged 80 and older need medications. The average for ages 50-64 is 13 prescriptions drugs, and the average for those 80 and older is 22.[13]
