Medicare Supplement Plan L
Medicare Supplement Plan L does offer some attractive benefits. However, the cost-sharing may or may not work for you. With a cost-share plan, you’re responsible for some of the healthcare costs, but not all. Plan L certainly has more coverage than Medicare alone.
What’s Covered Under Medicare Supplement Plan L
Medigap Plan L isn’t the most comprehensive coverage; however, it boasts good coverage at a slightly lower premium.
Plan L will cover in full:
- Part A coinsurance and hospital costs
- Up to an additional 365 days after Medicare benefits are exhausted
Plan L will cover 75% of:
- Part B Coinsurance
- First 3 Pints of Blood
- Part A deductible
- Part A Hospice Care Coinsurance
- Skilled Nursing Facility Coinsurance
As you can tell, Plan L isn’t a bare-bones policy. Coverage exists where coverage is needed.
Plan L is Ideal for Those Who:
- Want a lower monthly premium
- Don’t travel outside the U.S.
- Are not concerned about excess charges
What’s the Maximum Out of Pocket with Plan L
If you’ve been confused by the term Maximum Out of Pocket, fear no more. The MOOP is a protection or safety net designed with you in mind. This is the most you can pay in a calendar year on covered services. For Plan L, the MOOP is $2,940. Although this amount could change annually.
This means if you develop a severe illness and find yourself in and out of the hospital, the most you’ll pay outside your premium is $2,940.
So, once you’ve spent that much on healthcare, you can expect 100% coverage from your carrier on any further covered services during the year.
