We rate this plan

Special Notes: 2010 Information

  • Plan F pays the Part B annual deductible of $ 155.00 once per year.
  • Plan F pays the Part B excess when you see a provider that does not accept Medicare Assignment.
  • Plan F pays the 20% remainder of Medicare Approved Amounts.
  • Plan F pays 100% of the Part B excess when you see a provider that does not accept Medicare Assignment.
  • Plan F pays the $ 1100.00 Part A Deductible.
  • Plan F includes the Basic Benefits, pays the Part A deductible and includes the Skilled Nursing Coinsurance.
  • Plan F Includes Foreign Travel Emergency benefits.
  • Bottom Line: The only Medicare Supplement better than Plan F is a J. Sometimes buying a Plan J is not as cost effective as an F depending on where you live.
  • The regular Plan F is a winner. We don't recommend the high deductible Plan F because no benefits are paid until your out-of-pocket expenses reach $ 2,000 in 2010.

This high deductible plan pays the same or offers the same benefits as Plan F after you have paid a calendar year $2000 deductible. Benefits from the high deductible Plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses are $2000. Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. This includes the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but does not include the plan's separate foreign travel emergency deductible.
