		<description><![CDATA[Medigap plans do not cover drugs. They use to until a few years ago when Medigap plans E, H, I, and J were taken off of the marketplace due to changes in the Medicare laws.

If you have a Medigap plan and want to have coverage for prescription drugs , you would need to secure a standalone Part D prescription drug plan.

I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your coverage and if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some Medigap Plans sold in the past did cover prescription drugs; however, Medigap Policies sold after January 1, 2006 are not allowed to include coverage for prescription drugs.

Medigap Plans fill in the &quot;gaps&quot; that original Medicare does not cover.  So it will pay for approved Medicare items.  With that said, Medicare only covers a limited amount of drugs.  Examples include:  injections recieved in the doctor&#039;s office, certain oral anti-cancer drugs, some types of drugs used with various durable medical equipment (ex: nebulizer or external infusion pump), and under extremely limited circumstances, certain drugs you receive in a outpatient hospital setting.

Some drugs in a hospital setting are known as &quot;self-administered drugs&quot; (drugs you normally take on your own).  These are not covered by Part B and, therefore, not paid for by your Medigap Plan.]]></description>
