There is no charge to the individual for using the services of a licensed health insurance agent—the commission is entirely paid by the carrier. The carrier is prohibited from selling the policy any cheaper if an individual does not use an agent.
Please be aware that I never share contact numbers or email addresses with anyone and all personal information is kept absolutely confidential. No one will call you unless you ask to be called and the only person you would talk with is me. Thanks for visiting. Please let me know how I can help you. John K Arnold

While Original Medicare covers many health care costs and services, it does not cover things like coinsurance, copayments, and deductibles. These costs are considered "gaps" in your Medicare coverage, because you typically have to pay for them yourself.
To help you cover these gaps, you may consider purchasing a Medigap insurance policy.
Available through private insurance companies, Medigap policies can help you pay some of these out-of-pocket health care costs. Many policies also cover additional benefits and services not covered by Original Medicare.
Insurance companies are only allowed to sell you one Medigap policy. Currently, there are different standardized plans, referred to as "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "F+", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", and "L" (MA, MN, WI have variation plans).
Because the policies are standardized, the benefits for a particular plan are the same for each company within a state. The primary difference will be the cost, but factors like underwriting and rating methodology can also vary from insurance company to insurance company.
