Medicare Supplement Plans in Georgia
Medicare Supplement plans in Georgia, also called Medigap, help pay for deductibles and coinsurance that Original Medicare doesn’t cover.
Georgia offers ten standardized Medicare Supplement plans. Standardized means that Medigap Plan G has the same benefits in Atlanta as in Columbus.
Medicare Supplement Plan options in Georgia:
Medicare Supplement Plan F
- Part A hospital coinsurance
- The hospital costs up to 365 days after benefits through Original Medicare Part A are exhausted.
- Part A hospice care copays or coinsurance
- Part A deductible
- Part B deductible
- Part B preventive office visit coinsurance
- Part B coinsurance or copays
- Excess charges for Medicare Medicare Part B

- Coinsurance for care in a skilled nursing facility

Medicare Supplement Plan G
Medicare Plan G is the most comprehensive plan for beneficiaries who became eligible for Medicare after January 1, 2020. Some Medicare recipients who chose to buy Plan F would compare the two plans and decide they liked the cost savings that Plan G offers.
Medicare Supplement Plan N
If you want comprehensive coverage and are willing to trade some benefits for a lower monthly premium, Medicare Plan N is a great value.
Plan N does require the following copayments:
- Up to $20 for a doctor’s visit
- Up to $50 for emergency room visits (waived if the visit leads to admittance)
High-deductible Medigap Plan F
High-deductible Plan F offers the same benefits as the original plan. However, the premium is substantially lower because benefits are not paid until you meet a high deductible. If you are in overall good health and do not anticipate a lot of medical expenses, you may find this trade-off worthwhile.
In 2022, the deductible is $2,490. Once you satisfy this deductible, the plan will cover 100% of the costs.
High-deductible Plan G
High-deductible Plan G offers the same benefits as the original plan. However, the premium is substantially lower because benefits are not paid until you meet a high deductible. If you are in overall good health and do not anticipate a lot of medical expenses, you may find this trade-off worthwhile.
In 2022, the deductible is $2,490. Once you satisfy this deductible, the plan will cover 100% of the costs.
