Medicare Supplement Plans in Los Angeles
When Original Medicare Isn’t Enough, We’re Here to Fill the Gaps
If you're relying on Original Medicare alone, you’ve probably noticed that deductibles, coinsurance, and unexpected bills can add up quickly. That’s where Medicare Supplement plans—also called Medigap—can make all the difference. At Hansol Financial & Insurance, we help seniors across Los Angeles and Koreatown understand their Medigap options and choose the right plan for their lifestyle, medical needs, and budget.
How Medigap Works Alongside Medicare
Medicare Supplement insurance is designed to work with Original Medicare (Part A and Part B), helping cover costs that Medicare doesn’t—like copayments, hospital deductibles, and skilled nursing facility charges. You keep the flexibility to see any doctor who accepts Medicare across California or beyond, which is especially helpful if you split time between LA and another location.
Find the Right Plan for You
California offers several standardized Medigap plans—like Plan G, Plan N, and Plan A—each with its own level of coverage. Whether you want comprehensive protection or a lower monthly premium with predictable costs, our team will guide you through what’s available. We also explain how things like the birthday rule in California can allow you to switch plans without medical underwriting.
Why Seniors in Koreatown & Across LA Trust Hansol
Our team works one-on-one with seniors and their families to explain Medigap in plain language—no jargon, no pressure. We’ve helped residents from Westlake to Mid-City and beyond understand what’s covered, what’s not, and how to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs. As a local Medicare broker in Los Angeles, we stay up to date on plan options and rule changes so you don’t have to.
Comparing Medicare Supplement & Medicare Advantage
Still deciding between a Medigap plan and a Medicare Advantage plan? You’re not alone. Many people in Los Angeles ask us, “Which one is better?” The answer depends on your priorities. If you want broad access to providers and lower surprise bills, Medigap may be the way to go. But if you’re looking for lower monthly premiums and extra perks like dental or vision, a Medicare Advantage plan might suit you. We’ll help you compare both paths side by side.
Get Local Help from a Licensed Medicare Broker
Choosing the right Medicare Supplement plan doesn’t have to be confusing. Hansol offers personalized, local help for seniors in Los Angeles who want clarity and peace of mind. Whether you’re turning 65 soon or thinking about switching plans, we’re ready to walk you through your options—at no cost to you.

What is a Medicare Supplement plan, and how does it work?
A Medicare Supplement plan (also called Medigap) helps pay for costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. It works alongside your Medicare Part A and Part B coverage and gives you more predictable healthcare costs and freedom to see any doctor that accepts Medicare.
Is Medigap the same as Medicare Advantage?
No. Medigap supplements Original Medicare, while Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces it with a private plan. With Medigap, you keep access to any provider nationwide that accepts Medicare, which is great for LA residents who travel or use specialists across Southern California. Medicare Advantage plans usually have networks (like HMOs or PPOs), which may limit choices.
Can I use my Medigap plan anywhere in California or only in Los Angeles?
You can use your Medigap plan anywhere in the U.S. where Medicare is accepted—not just in Los Angeles. That flexibility is why many seniors from Koreatown to Pasadena choose Medigap over Advantage plans with limited networks.
What are the most popular Medigap plans in California?
In California, Plans G and N are very popular among new enrollees. Plan G offers broad coverage, including hospital and outpatient coinsurance, while Plan N usually has a lower monthly premium with modest copays for some office visits and ER trips. We’ll help you compare your options based on your needs.
When can I enroll in a Medigap plan?
Your Medigap Open Enrollment Period begins the month you turn 65 and enroll in Medicare Part B. During this window, you can enroll without being denied or charged more due to health conditions. If you're already enrolled and want to change plans, California’s “birthday rule” lets you switch to a plan with equal or lesser benefits each year around your birthday—no medical questions asked.
What’s the difference between Plan G, Plan N, and other Medigap options?
Each plan offers a different balance of coverage and cost. Plan G covers nearly all Medicare-approved expenses except the Part B deductible. Plan N offers similar coverage with slightly lower premiums and small copays. Plans A and B offer more basic benefits. We'll walk you through which plan makes sense based on your budget and health situation.
How much do Medicare Supplement plans cost in Los Angeles?
Premiums vary based on the plan you choose, your age, location, and the insurer. In Los Angeles, we help clients find affordable options from trusted carriers with strong customer service. You’ll get quotes and a breakdown of what’s covered before you make any decisions.
Can I keep my doctor with a Medigap plan?
Yes. As long as your doctor accepts Medicare, you can see them with any Medigap plan. That’s a key reason many seniors in Los Angeles prefer Medigap—it allows them to keep their providers, whether in Downtown LA, Westwood, or beyond.
