New Mexico Medicare Advantage and Senior Health Programs (NM)
The original Medicare Plan is a pay-per-visit health plan that allows a beneficiary to all healthcare providers that accept Medicare nationwide. However, there are some costs, referred to as coverage "gaps" that are not covered. This is why Medigap began to be offered. However, in terms of potential comprehensive coverage, the Medicare Advantage plan can become preferable to Medigap.
When enrolled in an Medicare Advantage plan, however, the Medigap policy that may be in force will be automatically nullified; in other words, deductibles, co-payments and other cost-sharing mechanisms under Medigap is superseded by the Medicare Advantage plan. However, once the Medigap policy is dropped, eligibility for re-enrolling will only occur under special circumstances. Dropping an existing Medigap enrollment is not compulsory, even with a co-existing Medicare Advantage plan.
