Optional supplemental benefits

Services that Medicare doesn't cover, but that a Medicare health plan may choose to offer. If a beneficiary enrolls in a plan with these services, they may choose to buy the services. If they choose to buy these benefits, they will pay for them directly, usually as a premium, copayment, and/or coinsurance. These services may be offered individually or as a group of services, and they may be different for each Medicare health plan.
