Medicare Supplemental Insurance is sometimes referred to as Gap Insurance.
Medicare Supplemental Insurance can be sold in only ten standard plans - Plan A through Plan J.

Plan C has basic benefits, skilled nursing co-insurance, Part A deductible, Part B deductible and foreign travel emergency. For Plan C when medical care is provided in a participating hospital, the initial Part A deductible is waived.
