Medicare supplement Plan G covers the following benefits:
1. Medicare Part A coinsurance and hospital costs up to an additional 365 days after Medicare benefits are used up
2. Medicare Part B coinsurance or copayment
3. Blood (first 3 pints)
4. Part A hospice care coinsurance or copayment
5. Skilled nursing fcility care coinsurance
6. Medicare Part A deductible
7. Medicare Part B excess charges
8. Foreign Travel Emergency (up to plan limits)
Out of the 9 benefits available under Medicare supplement (Medigap) plans, Plan G covers 8 of them - the 9th benefit being your Medicare Part B deductible ($147 in 2014 - covered under plans C and F). Plan F covers all 9 benefits.
Medicare supplement plans are standardized! Meaning plan G from company A is the same plan G from company B.
Work with an independent agent/broker that can compare different carriers to determine which will be most suitable for your program.

If you have Medigap Plan G, Original Medicare will pay it's share of Medicare approved amounts and then Medigap Plan G will pay it's share. It boils down to this..Original Medicare pays 80% of Medicare approved amounts, Plan G pays the remaining 20% of Medicare approved amounts after you have met/paid the annual Part B deductible of $147. Once that $147 deductible is met, you are covered with the same benefits as Plan F.
