What is Supplemental Health Insurance?
Supplemental health insurance works alongside your primary health insurance to cover expenses that traditional plans don't fully cover.
Fill Coverage Gaps
Even the best health insurance plans have gaps. Supplemental insurance helps cover deductibles, copays, and services not covered by your primary plan.
- High deductible coverage
