Hospital expenses – Most BlueReliance Medicare Supplement plans cover the Part A deductible as well as eligible expenses for an additional 365 days of inpatient hospital care when Part A Medicare benefits stop
Medical expenses – BlueReliance Medicare Supplement plans cover Part B coinsurance for eligible medical expenses after the deductible has been met, including: doctor visits; outpatient hospital care; diagnostic services; and home health care
