For New Mexico residents willing to share some of the costs of healthcare, Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan N* from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico is a smart choice. With coverage for your Part A deductible, hospitalization coinsurance, foreign travel emergency care, skilled nursing copayment, and more, this plan is a smart solution for supplementing Original Medicare benefits.

This plan makes it easy for seniors to secure reliable health care at an affordable price. Coverage includes Part A deductible ($1,600), 100 percent of hospitalization coinsurance from day 61-90 ($400 a day), hospitalization coinsurance from day 91 and beyond ($800 a day with Lifetime Reserve) and 100 percent of Medicare-eligible expenses in the hospital for an additional 365 days after Medicare benefits end. In addition, the first three pints of blood are covered 100 percent.

Original Medicare pays for the first 20 days of skilled nursing care. Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan N picks up where Medicare leaves off by paying the remaining amount ($200.00 a day) for days 21-100. Plan N also pays your Medicare copayment/coinsurance for hospice care.

Medicare Supplement Plan F and High Deductible Plan F are only available to those individuals who turned 65 before January 1, 2020.

* Plan F also has an option called a high-deductible Plan F. This high-deductible plan pays the same or offers the same benefits as Plan F after one has paid a calendar year $2,700 deductible. Benefits from high-deductible Plan F will not begin until out-of-pocket expenses are $2,700.

Out-of-pocket expenses for this deductible are expenses that would ordinarily be paid by the policy. These expenses include the Medicare deductibles for Part A and Part B but do not include the plan’s separate foreign travel emergency deductible.

** Hospital benefits must be provided by facilities participating in Medicare. Payments are limited to the reasonable charge as determined by Medicare.

*** After 90 days of hospitalization, Medicare benefits are paid from a one-time lifetime reserve of 60 additional days (days 91-150) which are not renewable for each benefit period. See your Outline of Coverage for details and limitations of these benefits.

† After the $226 Part B deductible is met for Plans A, B, F, High Deductible Plan F, and Plan N.

†† Foreign Travel Emergency covered at 80% after the first $250 each is paid each calendar year; up to $ 50,000-lifetime maximum.
