Medicare Supplement Plan D

A Medicare Supplement plan, otherwise known as Medigap coverage, from South Dakota Farm Bureau Health Plans will help pay for many costs not covered by Medicare. Because people have different needs, circumstances, expectations and budgets, SDFB Health Plans offers four Medicare Supplement plans. Each plan has varying levels of supplemental coverage.

The charts below outline the coverage of Medicare Supplement Plan D. This plan covers many of the expenses not paid by Medicare, but it does not cover as much as Plan G.
