Medicare Supplement Plans
UCare offers three new statewide Medicare Supplement plans. Explore our plans and choose one that’s right for you.
What Is a Medicare Supplement (or Medigap) plan?
- Medicare Supplement plans help pay for costs Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like copays, coinsurance and deductibles.
- Medicare Supplement plans don’t include Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. If you want prescription drug coverage, you’ll need to purchase a separate Part D plan.

- No network: See any Medicare provider, no referrals needed.
- Goes where you go: You’re covered anywhere in the U.S.
