So it can be better to say that there are several gaps between the original Medicare plan and actual medical bill which stands for your actual claim of money.

While it is to be mentioned that the plan M does not cover the Medicare Plan B at all. However, it is assumed that the plan’s premium would be around 15% lower than the current plan F. while on the other hand the Medicare supplement plans N also uses cost sharing method to reduce monthly premiums. Moreover it also uses co-payments method also to keep the premium rate lower. It also includes Medicare Plan B and is assumed to provide about 30% lower premiums than the Medigap plan F premium.
