Blue Shield of California - Medicare Supplemental
Blue Shield of California offers a number of supplemental plans to the existing Medicare Parts A and B. These plans meet the governmental guidelines for Medicare Supplemental Healthcare. You may apply for the supplemental plans that are offered by Blue Shield of California, generally after you have enrolled in Medicare Supplemental Healthcare Parts A and B. There are special health circumstances that may let you enroll earlier, please refer to the Governmental Guide, 2006 Choosing a Medigap Policy
Be aware that there are large gaps in coverage or paid expenses. You should review the 2006 Choosing a Medigap Policy to make a decision about the Medicare Supplemental Healthcare plan that will meet your needs. Please pay special attention to what is covered by Medicare Portions A and B.
Also be aware that you should take the part “D” which is the Drug portion of Medigap coverage. If you do not take Part “D” when you are illegible, you are penalized 1% per month on the premium. That can amount up to a substantial penalty. It is important coverage and should benefit most people on Medicare. Please call us if you would like help reviewing the materials or need answers to your questions.
