2. The “F” Plan
• Many Versions of Supplement Plans
• A, B, C ->F, Etc.

• Most Popular Is The “F” Plan
• The “Cadillac” of Coverage
• An “F” Plan Picks Up Where Medicare Ends
• Under Medicare Guidelines, Each Insurance Carrier Has Virtually The Same Features for Each Plan
• So, All “F” Plans Are Virtually the Same, Regardless of Carrier
• The Only Way That Carriers Differentiate Themselves is Through Service
