High-Deductible Plan G Explained

A lower-premium structure for people who want catastrophic protection.

About 6 minute read

Overview

High-deductible Plan G provides the same benefits as standard Plan G, but the policy pays only after you have met a high annual deductible set by Medicare each year.

How it works

The premium is substantially lower. The trade is that you carry more of the early-year cost yourself.

What to watch for

This structure can suit people with savings set aside who want protection against a catastrophic year rather than help with routine costs.

What to do next

It is not a good fit for someone who wants predictable coverage from the first dollar after the Part B deductible.
