About the Plan

Perhaps you are like some KansasFarm Bureau members who are willing to make reasonable copayments for some health care services in exchange for lower monthly rates for supplement coverage. Medicare Supplement Plan N might suit your needs. It is similar to Plan D with a copayment exception and it still covers most of the gaps not paid by Medicare.

Hospitalization Medical Expenses Blood Hospice

Part A coinsurance plus coverage for 365 additional days after Medicare benefits end.

Part B coinsurance (generally 20% of Medicare-approved expenses) or copayments for hospital outpatient services.

Part A coinsurance

* A benefit period begins on the first day you receive service as an inpatient in a hospital and ends after you have been out of the hospital and have not received skilled care in any other facility for 60 days in a row.
