Supplemental insurance is a type of coverage that individuals can purchase in addition to their Original Medicare coverage. This coverage helps protect against unexpected medical expenses that may not be fully covered. This can include costs associated with hospital stays, surgeries, or ongoing treatments.

It serves as a valuable tool in creating a more comprehensive healthcare coverage strategy, providing financial support and flexibility in managing healthcare expenses. Individuals should assess their specific needs and consult with insurance professionals to determine the most suitable supplemental coverage for their circumstances.
