A Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy helps supplement Original Medicare and is sold by private Insurance Companies.
A Medicare Supplement policy help pays some of the remaining health cost that is not covered by Original Medicare such as services and supplies, like deductibles, copayments and coinsurance.
