Policy terms. Medco Containment Life Medicare Supplement policies are guaranteed renewable, as all Medigap policies are. This insurer may apply a pre-existing condition waiting period of up to three months (none if you replace coverage you've had for three months), and may ask health questions outside guaranteed-issue periods. Medigap policies don't cover prescription drugs, routine dental, vision or hearing care, hearing aids, or long-term custodial care. Plans C and F are only for people first eligible for Medicare before 2020. For the policy form number, premiums, complete benefits, exclusions and limitations, see the insurer's outline of coverage, which you receive before you apply.
