Note that Medicare supplement plans for traditional Medicare are not really health insurance plans at all. They rely exclusively on the Government to review and approve claims submitted by providers of Medicare services. If the claim is approved, then the supplement plan will pay all or part of the coinsurance as specified in the plan. If the claim is rejected, the supplement plan will pay nothing. So, for them, it is just a math calculation.
