Medicare Supplement Plan G is one of the most popular Medicare plans in Grand Junction because it offers strong provider flexibility, predictable costs, and nationwide Medicare coverage.
Plan G is a Medicare Supplement plan that works alongside Original Medicare. It helps cover many of the out-of-pocket costs Medicare leaves behind.

| Hospice coinsurance | Yes |
| Skilled nursing coinsurance | Yes |
| Foreign travel emergency | Yes |
| Part B deductible | No |
The main thing Plan G does not cover is the Medicare Part B deductible.
