Medigap Plan L offers lowered premiums if you share costs.
In return for slightly reduced premiums, if you enroll in a Plan L, the insurer will pay 75% of your covered medical costs for most items, and you’ll handle the other 25%. Also, you agree to pay the Medicare Part B deductible and any excess charges.
Medigap Plan L Benefits
- Medicare Part A coinsurance and hospital costs (up to an additional 365 days after Medicare benefits are used up)
- 75% of blood (First 3 pints)
- 75% of Medicare Part B copayment
- 75% Part A hospice care copayment
- 75% Medicare Part A deductible
- 75% skilled nursing facility coinsurance
Plan L doesn’t cover Medicare Part B deductible, Part B excess charges, or a foreign travel emergency.
Medigap Plan L Out of Pocket Maximum
A Plan L policy also includes a limit on your expenses, which is called your out-of-pocket maximum or cap protection. Medicare dictates the limit each year, and in 2022, Plan L’s limit is $3,310.
The limit promotes an easy agreement to share in 25% of the expenses because even if a year of poor health occurs, you won’t have more liability than the maximum cap figure.
Medigap Plan L Carriers
In most states, the carrier determines which Medicare supplements it’ll offer to consumers. It’s fairly easy to find carriers for Plan F, but not as many offer the Plan L Medigap policy.
