Medigap policies must follow Federal and State laws. These laws protect you. The front of a Medigap policy must clearly identify it as "Medicare Supplement Insurance." Each plan, A through J, has a different set of benefits. Plan A covers only the basic (core) benefits. These basic benefits are included in all the Medicare plans (A through J). Medigap Plans B through J offer extra benefits. Plan J offers the most benefits. http://www.seniorlaw.com/medicare.htm Social Security: http://www.ssa.gov/ Top 25 Social Security Questions: http://www.aarp.org/work/social-security/info-12-2010/top-25-social-security-questions.print.html The Official U.S. Government Site for People with Medicare: http://mymedicare.gov/ Choose Nursing Homes to Compare: http://www.medicare.gov/NHCompare/Include/DataSection/Questions/HomeSelect.asp When signing admission forms for a person unable to sign themselves in for health care, remember to sign: "Betty Anderson, by her attorney-in-fact Brett Anderson" (assuming Brett has a power of attorney), or "Brett Anderson, only in his capacity as attorney-in-fact."
