Fill the gaps in your Original Medicare coverage

While Original Medicare pays for some of your doctor and hospital costs, it does not cover everything — such as a variety of coinsurance, copays and deductibles. These are known as “gaps” in Medicare coverage.

A Medicare Supplement plan (also called a Medigap plan) from Harvard Pilgrim is designed to fill many of these gaps, and do so at an affordable price, no matter your age.
