Medicare Supplement Planning in Huntsville
Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley, including Madison, Athens and Decatur, are among the fastest-growing parts of Alabama, and people here are more likely to keep Original Medicare than in any other large Alabama county. In Madison County, just over half of everyone with Medicare is in Original Medicare, the coverage a Medigap plan works with.
Many of the people I talk with here retired from Redstone Arsenal, NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center or the defense and engineering companies around them, and their first question is how a Medigap plan fits with the retiree coverage they already have.

Why Huntsville Residents Choose Medigap Coverage
Huntsville Hospital is the main hospital for the Tennessee Valley, and many residents also see specialists in Birmingham or Nashville. A Medigap plan works with any doctor or hospital in the country that accepts Medicare, so crossing the state line into Tennessee does not change your coverage.
After the $283 Part B deductible, Plan G pays the rest of the Medicare-approved bill, including the $1,736 hospital deductible. Plan N costs less each month and adds small copays for some office and emergency room visits.

Common Medicare Questions from Huntsville Residents
“I'm a federal retiree with FEHB. Do I need a Medigap plan too?”
Often not. Federal retirees can keep Federal Employees Health Benefits coverage after joining Medicare, and many FEHB plans pay most of what Medicare does not once you have Part A and Part B. Compare what your FEHB plan pays with Medicare against the cost of a Medigap plan before buying one, and don't drop FEHB without understanding the rules for getting it back.
“Does my Medigap plan work in Tennessee?”
Yes. A Medigap plan works with any doctor or hospital in the United States that accepts Medicare, including in Nashville and the rest of Tennessee. Your premium is based on your Alabama address.
