Medicare Supplement Plan N Explained

Plan N is a standardized Medigap letter that typically trades a lower premium for modest copays and no Part B excess-charge coverage.

What Plan N is designed to do

Plan N covers many of the same Medigap categories as Plan G, with important differences: copays may apply to some office visits and ER visits, and Part B excess charges are not covered.

Who often looks at Plan N

People who see doctors who accept Medicare assignment and want a lower premium in exchange for occasional copays often compare Plan N. It is not automatically “cheaper overall.”

Confirm the outline of coverage

Standardized benefits can still have details worth reading. Ask for the outline of coverage and current premium for your ZIP code.
