HealthCare.com, Inc. the leader in online health insurance information and plan quotes, today announced the launch of MedicareSupplemental.com, a new website aimed to be the premier online resource for Medicare Supplemental information and quotes. The website provides extensive information to help consumers understand the complexities of Medicare Supplemental or "Medigap" coverage as well as a search tool to obtain quotes and connect with multiple brokers and agents.
Medicare Supplemental insurance is a form of health insurance policy sold by private insurance companies to fill the "gaps" in original Medicare Plan coverage. Medigap as it is also known, helps pay some of the health care costs that are not covered by original Medicare Plans. By 2011, millions of Baby Boomers will be turning 65 and by 2029 an additional 32 million people will be Medicare-eligible.
"Consumers are usually overwhelmed by the number of intricacies and options available to them for Medicare Supplemental coverage," said Jose Vargas, President of HealthCare.com. "MedicareSupplemental.com makes it easier for Medicare-eligible consumers to research, understand and obtain multiple quotes from licensed providers."
