There are 12 standard Medigap plans, labeled A through L, that offer different levels of health coverage. Even though different insurance companies sell these policies, the benefits of each standard Medigap plan are always the same. For instance, a Medigap Plan E policy should offer set benefits no matter which company you buy it from.
Medicare Supplement Plan J is one of the Federally-standardized Medicare Supplement plans. Much has been written and discussed about the upcoming June 1, 2010 changes to the standard Medicare Supplement plans. One of the major changes with the modernization of the plans is the elimination of several plans, including Medigap Plan J. It is important to note, however, that existing Plan J policyholders will not lose their current Plan J coverage with this modernization of the plans.
