Americo Coverage

Level of Coverage - 3.5 / 5

Americo offers most of the major Medicare Supplement plans you'd expect, though if you're interested in Plans K, L or M, you may have to explore some other options. Still, these omissions shouldn't be a major concern as there's still a lot of choice, including several of the most popular plans. If you're new to Medicare Supplement plans, you can learn a little about what each one covers on Americo's website. This can help you decide which one is best for you.

Plan Types

  • Plan A - Will cover hospital medical bills for inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facilities and hospice care. This coverage is free for seniors who have paid at least ten-years of Medicare taxes while being employed.
  • Plan B - Will cover medical bills from doctor’s services and other outpatient care such as lab testing, diagnostic and preventative care services and medical supplies that are medically necessary. Seniors must pay a monthly premium for Part B coverage.
  • Plan C - One of the most popular plans, it adds on a skilled nursing facility daily copay, the Part B annual deductible, and emergency care outside of the U.S.
  • Plan D - Though this includes most of the same benefits as plan C, it does not cover the Part B deductible.
  • Plan F - Less expensive than other plans, F covers all the same benefits as C, with the addition of 100% of Part B's excess charges.
  • Plan G - Covers almost every Medicare supplemental insurance benefit, with the exception of Part B's annual deductible.
  • Plan N - Covers hospital copayments, Part B co-insurance except $20 for office visits & $50 for emergency visits, first 3 pints of blood, hospital deductible, SNF, foreign care, all of Part B co-insurance for preventive care, and hospice care.
