Medicare Supplement plans (Medigap) in Virginia

In Virginia, when you choose a Medicare Supplement insurance plan with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, you’re more than covered. With our currently offered plans, you’ll have access to the popular fitness program, SilverSneakers®.

Medicare Supplement insurance, also called “Medigap,” is a plan you add to Original Medicare to pay for things that Parts A and B don’t cover like your coinsurance, copays, or the Part A and Part B deductibles. You’ll want to be enrolled in Original Medicare before you add a Medicare Supplement plan.

At Anthem, we’ve been serving Virginians for over 75 years. Come find which plan is right for you!

Is Medicare Supplement (Medigap) right for you?

Yes , the Medicare Supplement plan is right for you

  • You’re enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and you live in Virginia.
  • You want peace of mind knowing you’ll have help with many of the costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover.
  • You’d like the flexibility to see any doctor who accepts Medicare, not just the doctors in a network, and without referral.
  • You plan to travel in the United States and want to be able to see any doctor who accepts Medicare.
  • You see a doctor who charges more than the Medicare-approved amount for care.
  • You’d like to buy separate dental and vision insurance once you’re enrolled.

No, the Medicare Supplement plan is not right for you

  • You’re not enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B).
  • You have coverage from an employer that pays all or some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover.
  • You have coverage through your union that pays all or some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn’t cover.
  • You're going to sign up for a Virginia Medicare Advantage plan (Part C).

Add prescription drug coverage

When you sign up for Original Medicare and choose a Medicare Supplement plan to help cover your costs, you’ll want to add a separate Part D plan at the same time. Part D is Medicare’s Prescription Drug Coverage. Like Medicare Supplement, you can get Part D directly from us. We offer several prescription drug plans to meet everyone’s needs. So add one to your shopping cart or take a closer look at Medicare Part D plans in Virginia.

Need dental and vision insurance?

If you choose Medicare Supplement insurance, you can buy dental and vision or dental-only insurance to complement your coverage. Stay healthy with Anthem Extras Packages: pick from dental and vision packages like Standard, Premium, Premium Plus, or Dental-Only Premium Plus.

Many of our Anthem Extras Packages get you access to our Member Assistance and Travel Assistance programs to help keep you healthy at home and abroad.
