| We all want the best health care available. We
normally search for the best insurance policy that we can afford. For most
senior citizens, Medicare covers most basic health care needs. But
unfortunately, it does have "gaps." Many need something more to protect them
from expensive medical costs. |
| This is where Medicare Supplemental insurance,
commonly known as MEDIGAP, comes into play. Insurance policies to
supplement Medicare can sometimes be both costly and unnecessary. Purchasing
multiple policies can also result in overlapping benefits and duplicate
coverage. |
| This guide is designed to provide you with a
listing of insurance companies that have been licensed to sell Medicare
Supplement, Medicare+Choice, Medicare Select, Medicare Savings and Long Term
Care policies in the state of Alabama. Shop carefully for insurance by
comparing several companies’ prices and service. The check lists for Medicare
Supplement and Long Term Care can help you when you are shopping for insurance. |
| If you need further help, call Alabama's State
Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and speak with an insurance
counselor. |
