A claim supplement is a claim for additional repair or replacement costs. Supplements are commonplace in the claims process. However, if you are a policyholder unaware of your policy rights, you could be walking away from hundreds or thousands of dollars that you are entitled to collect.

Claim supplements usually occur after a policyholder submits a claim, gets paid and gets the repairs or replacements completed. Then, additional damage is discovered some time later.

Another good thing to know up front is that Medigap carriers can only offer you specific plans approved by the government. These policies are identified by the letters A through L, and may differ in cost from company to company. In other words, if you buy a Plan A Medigap policy from ABC Insurance Company, the coverage will be identical to a Plan A Medigap policy from XYZ Insurance Company. The only difference may be the premium. The insurance company, however, isn’t required to carry all the Medicare Supplement policies, as long as they carry Plan A.

So, how to get started finding the best Medigap value? It begins by requesting Medicare Supplement quotes from several companies. You can do that one of two ways: either by contacting the companies directly or by using a Medigap coverage comparison tool. The Internet has made the second option simple, allowing you to go to one website, fill out a quote request form, and receive several Medigap quotes in return.

No matter which route you take, be sure to look at more than one company’s quotes. You can save a surprising amount of money by picking the plan you’re most likely to use and not paying for benefits you don’t need.

Comparing Coverage

This step is crucial because, as we mentioned earlier, not every policyholder needs every benefit offered. Compare not only the Medigap plans themselves, but also the premium cost for each.

As you review the quotes, there are important facts to remember about Medigap coverage: 1) if you’re beyond your Medigap open enrollment period, the insurer can deny you coverage for health reasons and, 2) there are certain circumstances that require the insurer to offer you coverage, regardless of your health.

Another critical piece of information you must know when comparing quotes is whether the premiums are fixed, based upon the age of the applicant, fixed based upon the company’s entire Medigap pool, or variable, increasing as you age.

A careful side-by-side comparison of the premiums and plans offered will help you choose the right Medigap insurer for your needs.

There are some services that Medigap policies do not cover, like private nursing care, vision, hearing, and dental care, but these are usually covered by a regular medical insurance policy, so you really do not need to worry. Medigap insurance companies would not drop you unless you do not pay for your premiums, or the company itself becomes bankrupt.

Be sure that you are collecting all the money you are entitled to collect. Use supplemental claims whenever your claim requires it.

If you have experienced a property loss, whether fire, wind, flood or other, you need to know winning insurance claim strategies. The insurance company will not tell you the claims process, but I will. I will show you how to take control of your insurance claim, and add hundreds or even thousands more dollars to your claim settlement. For more information, go to the website listed below.
