Helping Our Aging Parents Help Themselves

Thinking about our parents aging is difficult. We all like to think they'll be here forever.

Unfortunately getting older is a fact of life and something we can't stop. So we face it head on, and one of the things we can do for our parents is to help them make the best choices when it comes to their Medicare Supplemental Insurance.

When you start researching all the different supplemental plans, it can be very confusing.

All of the information in hand, it appears that Medigap Plan F is the best option; covering parts A and B copayments, hospital and outpatient services copay, nursing care facilities, help getting medical attention during overseas travel, and offers coverage for one full year after Medicare coverage expires.

I don't know about you, but that sounds like some great coverage to me. With all of the Medicare information available online and elsewhere, I like plan that's simple, straight-forward, and covers the needs of its insured.

Why make things harder than they should be?
