* Plan F also has an option called a high deductible Plan F. This high deductible plan pays the same benefits as Plan F after one has paid a calendar year $2,700 deductible. Benefits from high deductible Plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses exceed $2,700. Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. These expenses include the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B, but do not include the plan's separate foreign travel emergency deductible.

Benefit Chart of Medicare Supplement Plans Sold on or after January 1, 2020
This chart shows the benefits included in each of the standard Medicare supplement plans. Some plans may not be available. Only applicants first eligible for Medicare before 2020 may purchase Plans C, F, and high deductible F.
Note: A [TICK] means 100% of the benefit is paid.
1Plans F and G also have a high deductible option which require first paying a plan deductible of [$2,700] before the plan begins to pay. Once the plan deductible is met, the plan pays 100% of covered services for the rest of the calendar year. High deductible plan G does not cover the Medicare Part B deductible. However, high deductible plans F and G count your payment of the Medicare part B deductible toward meeting the plan deductible.
2Plans K and L pay 100% of covered services for the rest of the calendar year once you meet the out-of-pocket yearly limit.
3Plan N pays 100% of the Part B coinsurance, except for a co-payment of up to $20 for some office visits and up to a $50 co-payment for emergency room visits that do not result in an inpatient admission.
