Section I: About Medicare Supplement and Medicare Select Insurance What is Medicare supplement insurance? Medicare supplement insurance can help cover the expenses that come with the gaps in Original Medicare (described in further detail in Appendix 1). Medicare supplement policies can only be purchased with Original Medicare - you may not have a Medicare supplement policy if you have a Medicare Advantage plan. This supplemental insurance is also called Medigap because it helps pay for these gaps. The Kansas Insurance Department is responsible for regulating this type of insurance in the state of Kansas. Costs that you must pay, like coinsurance, copayments and deductibles, are examples of some of the gaps in Original Medicare coverage. You might want to consider buying a Medicare supplement policy to cover these expenses. Some Medicare supplement policies also cover benefits that the Original Medicare plan doesn t cover, like emergency health care while traveling outside the United States. A Medicare supplement policy may help you save on out-of-pocket costs. How does Medicare supplement insurance work? Medicare Supplement insurance is broken down into plans identified by letters - A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M & N. These plans are standardized and must follow federal and state laws, which have been created to protect you, the consumer. (Details about each of these plans is available later in this booklet.) These plans are sold by private insurance companies, but they all have the same benefits. That is, plans identified as Plan A in the state of Kansas are identical, regardless of the company that is selling it. However, the cost of the plan will vary depending on the company who provides it. All companies in the state of Kansas that wish to sell Medicare supplement insurance must make Plan A available to their customers. If they want to offer additional Medicare supplement plans, they must also offer either Plan C or Plan F. Plan A features the core benefits of a Medicare supplement policy. All other plans build upon this. How are premium rates determined? Premium rates for Medicare supplement insurance policies are determined in one of two ways: Issue age - The company will not raise your premium just because you are getting older. Your premium will always be based on your age when you purchased the policy, but it will be adjusted for other factors, like inflation. If you buy a plan at age 65, you will always pay the current premiums charged to 65-year old customers, regardless of your current age. Issue age policies can be more costly up front but also can save money in the long run. Attained age - For rates determined by attained age, the premium will increase as you get older. If you buy a plan at age 65, you may have a premium increase each year. Enrollment Periods Medicare supplement enrollment periods differ from other Medicare enrollment periods. Insurers must offer a six-month open enrollment period to all Medicare beneficiaries. This six-month period begins with the first month in which the beneficiary first enrolled for benefits under Medicare Part B (for many people, this is age 65; for others, it begins when you lose em- 02 2011 Medicare Supplement Shopper s Guide

Beneficiaries with disabilities Disabled Medicare beneficiaries under age 65 have equal access to all Medicare supplement policies sold in Kansas. Upon enrolling in Medicare Part B, a disabled beneficiary has a 6-month open-enrollment period to buy supplemental coverage. That period begins the day Part B coverage becomes effective. Supplement policies must be sold at the same rate as for seniors who turn 65 and are eligible for Medicare. Disabled Medicare beneficiaries cannot be turned down for any Medicare supplement plan being sold in Kansas during the initial 6-month open-enrollment period. Coverage will be guaranteed issue, but the same pre-existing condition limitation as applies to age 65 beneficiaries may apply. A second open-enrollment period will apply when the disabled Medicare beneficiary turns 65. ployer- or group-sponsored health care). During this six-month period, insurers are required to offer any Medicare supplement policy to all enrollees, regardless of their health status. During this time, the same amount is charged to both healthy individuals and those with medical conditions. After this six-month period ends, insurers are allowed to use medical underwriting to determine whether or not you are accepted into the plan and, if so, how much you will be charged, so it is important to evaluate your options carefully during your first enrollment period. Should you decide to switch to a different Medicare supplement policy after this open enrollment period, you may be subject to medical underwriting. The six-month open enrollment period for Medicare supplement insurance starts on the same day your Part B Medicare starts. This date is shown on your Medicare card. Medicare Select insurance Medicare Select is another option available to some Kansas Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare Select policies are just like standardized Medicare supplement policies. However, each Medicare Select policy has specific hospitals and, in some cases, doctors that you must use in order to be eligible for full benefits (except in the case of medical emergencies). Because the insurers negotiate directly with specific providers (sometimes called preferred providers ), premium costs for Medicare Select plans are generally lower than a standard Medicare supplement policy. When you choose to use a preferred provider, Medicare pays its share of the approved charges and the Medicare Select policy pays for the full supplemental benefits provided for in the policy. If you do not want to use the preferred provider, Medicare will still pay its share of approved charges. However, the Medicare Select policy would not be required to pay any benefits. A comparison shopper s guide for both Medicare supplement policies and Medicare Select policies for premium rates is available in Section II of this book. Services provided under Medicare supplement policies The following services are provided under Medicare. Medicare supplement plans help pay for portions of these services not covered by Medicare. The following details, from www.medicare.gov, will help you determine whether or not you will need a supplemental policy. Hospitalization - Medicare covers a semiprivate room, meals, general nursing, and other hospital services and supplies. This includes care in critical access hospitals and inpatient mental health care. This does not include private duty nursing or a television or 2011 Medicare Supplement Shopper s Guide 03

telephone in your room. It does not include a private room, unless medically necessary. Medicare does not cover Part A deductible, coinsurance, or coverage after your allotted number of days have been used each benefit period. Skilled Nursing Facility Care - Medicare covers a semiprivate room, meals, skilled nursing and rehabilitative services, and other services and supplies (after a related 3-day hospital stay). You must have been admitted to the Medicare-approved nursing facility within 30 days of leaving the hospital. Medicare does not cover coinsurance or coverage after 100 days per benefit period. Blood - Medicare covers pints of blood you get at a hospital or skilled nursing facility during a covered stay. Medicare does not cover the first three pints or the $162 Part B deductible (in some cases). Hospice Care - Medicare covers medical and support services from a Medicare-approved hospice for people with a terminal illness, drugs for symptom control and pain relief, and other services not otherwise covered by Medicare. Hospice care is given in your home. However, short-term hospital and inpatient respite care (care given to a hospice patient by another caregiver so that the usual caregiver can rest) are covered when needed. You must have a doctor s certification of a terminal illness. Medicare does not cover the copayment or coinsurance. Medical Expenses - Medicare covers doctor s services, outpatient medical and surgical services and supplies, diagnostic tests, ambulatory surgery center facility fees for approved procedures, and durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen, and walkers). Also covers second surgical opinions, outpatient mental health care, outpatient physical and occupational therapy, including speechlanguage therapy. Medicare does not cover the Part B deductible or coinsurance. Clinical Laboratory Services - Medicare covers blood tests, urinalysis and other tests for diagnostic services. speech-language therapy, home health aide services, medical social services, durable medical equipment (such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, oxygen, and walkers) and medical supplies, and other services. Medicare does not cover the Part B deductible. The following services are not covered under Medicare, but may be covered by some Medicare supplement plans: Part B Excess charges - Excess charges are not covered under Medicare. If doctors decide not to accept the reimbursement rate they receive from Medicare for providing certain services, they are allowed to charge up to 15% more for those covered services. If the doctor you visit is one of these, you will be responsible for paying that 15% above what Medicare covers. The Medicare supplement policy may cover some or all of your expenses above the Medicare approved amounts. Foreign Travel - Some Medicare supplement policies will cover some of your expenses related to emergency care while traveling outside the United States. Benefit time frames Part A of Medicare is based on a per-benefit period timeline. According to Medicare, a benefit period begins the day you go into a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF). The benefit period ends when you haven t received any hospital care (or skilled care in a SNF) for 60 days in a row. If you return to the hospital or SNF before the end of that 60 day period, it will be considered part of the same benefit period. If you go into a hospital or a SNF after one benefit period has ended, a new benefit period begins. You must pay the inpatient hospital deductible for each benefit period. There is no limit to the number of benefit periods an enrollee may have. Part B benefits are based on the calendar year, which begins January 1 of each year and ends December 31.
