What Is a Medicare Supplement Plan?
Medicare Supplement plans — often called Medigap — are optional policies you can buy from private insurance companies to help pay the costs that Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) doesn’t fully cover. Think of them as “gap fillers.”
With Medicare alone, you’re still on the hook for things like deductibles, coinsurance, and copays. A Medigap plan can step in and cover some or all of those out-of-pocket costs.
How Do They Work?
You stay enrolled in Original Medicare.
Medicare pays its share of approved healthcare costs.
Your Medigap plan pays its share after that.
You still use your red, white, and blue Medicare card at the doctor’s office — nothing changes there. The Supplement is just a backup, so you’re not left with big bills.
Fast Facts (Save Yourself Headaches)
- Medigap ≠ Advantage. Medigap works with Original Medicare; no networks, no referrals.
- Price is by ZIP/age/tobacco/household. Same benefits → different carrier rates.
- Timing matters. Your Part B date and Guaranteed Issue windows change underwriting.
- Doctor freedom. Any provider accepting Medicare. Traveling? You’re still covered.
Medigap vs. Advantage
- Medigap (We place it): higher premium, lower unpredictable costs, nationwide access, no network drama.
- Advantage (We don’t market it): lower premium, networks, authorizations, plan rules.
You want clarity, predictability, and freedom → Medigap usually wins.
What Drives Your Rate?
- ZIP code • Age (and birthday timing) • Tobacco status • Household discount • Carrier rate history

Palm Beach Gardens-Specific Notes
- Community vs. Attained Age Rating: In Florida, most carriers use attained-age pricing — meaning your premium is based on the age you are when you enroll and can rise as you get older. That’s important to budget for.
- Open Enrollment Window: You have a six-month guaranteed-issue period when you first enroll in Medicare Part B at age 65. After that, you may have to answer health questions to switch plans.
- Household Discounts: Some Florida carriers offer a household or spousal discount if two people in the same household enroll.
- Local Support: Since carriers and rates vary by county, we run quotes for your ZIP code to make sure you’re not overpaying.

If you’re turning 65 soon or already on Medicare and looking at options, we’ll compare every Medigap carrier available in your Florida county. You’ll see the actual premiums side by side, and we’ll walk you through how Plan G and Plan N stack up for your situation.
Why Palm Beach Gardens Residents Need Medicare Supplement Coverage
Palm Beach Gardens residents face healthcare challenges that make Medicare Supplement coverage important:
Excellent Local Hospital Access: Palm Beach Gardens has excellent local hospital access with Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center located in Palm Beach Gardens, providing emergency care, surgical services, and comprehensive hospital services. This local hospital access is valuable for the affluent planned community, important for the 28% senior population. Additional hospitals include Jupiter Medical Center (10 minutes).
Affluent Income with Asset Protection Priority: With a median household income of $82,000, affluent and second highest in Palm Beach County, most Palm Beach Gardens residents have substantial to significant retirement resources.

One hospitalization could cost $5,000-$15,000 without Medigap, manageable but still a concern for affluent retirees focused on asset protection.

Significant wind damage of 75-95 mph throughout the planned community, some flooding in areas from heavy rainfall, widespread property damage throughout the city affecting thousands of properties, tree damage throughout community, extended power outages lasting days affecting all 16,800 seniors, difficult recovery on affluent budgets, and substantial costs. Palm Beach Gardens experienced significant impacts but the INLAND LOCATION provided IMPORTANT PROTECTION from catastrophic coastal storm surge and worst beachfront total destruction that devastated direct Atlantic coastal cities, demonstrating the INLAND PROTECTION ADVANTAGE.
Hurricane Matthew (October 2016): Just one year before Irma, Category 2-3 near-miss brought moderate impacts to Palm Beach Gardens including wind damage, some flooding concerns, property damage, extended power outages affecting all 16,800 seniors, and recovery. The INLAND LOCATION provided protection from worst coastal impacts.
Hurricane Wilma (October 2005): Category 2-3 impacts brought significant wind damage throughout the planned community, some flooding, widespread property damage, extended power outages, and difficult recovery. The INLAND LOCATION provided important protection from catastrophic coastal storm surge.
Hurricane Jeanne (September 2004): Category 3 impacts brought SEVERE damage to Palm Beach Gardens but SIGNIFICANTLY LESS than catastrophic coastal devastation. Severe wind damage of 85-105 mph throughout the planned community, flooding in some areas, widespread severe property damage throughout the city, extended power outages lasting days to weeks, difficult recovery on affluent budgets, and devastating costs. The INLAND LOCATION provided critical protection from catastrophic coastal storm surge and total beachfront destruction, though impacts were still severe from wind.
Hurricane Frances (September 2004): Just three weeks before Jeanne, Category 2 impacts brought significant wind damage throughout the planned community, some flooding, widespread property damage, extended power outages, and difficult recovery. The back-to-back Frances then Jeanne impacts were challenging, but the INLAND LOCATION prevented the catastrophic total devastation experienced by direct coastal cities.

Palm Beach Gardens’s inland location creates MODERATE inland hurricane exposure with IMPORTANT PROTECTION ADVANTAGE from worst direct coastal devastation.
