The changes, as you can see, are not that dramatic. If you have a Medicare supplement plan, you likely won’t even notice them, though it’s possible your premium could slightly adjust.
Remember, Plan F covers all of these out-of-pocket expenses (holes) in original Medicare. Plan G covers everything except the annual Part B deductible, which is remaining at $183 for the year.
