Medicare Supplement Plans K and L

Help manage your expenses


Medicare part K or L provides senior with peace of mind Plans K and L offer most of the same basic benefits as other Medicare Supplement insurance plans, but provide you with a lower monthly premium. In exchange for a lower premium, these cost-sharing plans cover less of the coinsurance and copayments than other Medicare Supplement plans. Each plan does offer an out-of-pocket maximum, which limits the amount you will have to pay each year.

In general, Plan K offers a lower monthly premium than Plan L, but offers higher copayments and a higher annual out-of-pocket limit.
 

Medicare Supplement Plan K

With Humana’s Medicare Supplement Plan K, the plan covers services similar to other Medicare Supplement insurance policies. However, instead of paying all your costs, the plan pays a percentage. If you have a serious illness or injury, you have the protection of an out-of-pocket annual limit. Once you reach this “cap” on your out-of-pocket costs, the plan pays 100 percent of Medicare-approved costs for the rest of the year. This plan is a good option if you prefer a lower premium but still want a fair amount of coverage for a wide variety of services.

Medicare Supplement Plan K covers:

  • 100% coverage for Part A hospitalization coinsurance plus coverage for 365 days after Medicare benefits end
  • 50% Hospice out-of-pocket cost sharing
  • 50% of Medicare-eligible expenses for the first three pints of blood
  • 50% Part B coinsurance, except for preventive care services, which are covered 100%
  • 50% coverage for Skilled Nursing Facility coinsurance
  • 50% coverage for your Medicare Part A deductibles
  • $4,620 out-of-pocket annual limit (The out-of-pocket annual limit will increase each year for inflation)
