At Everstone Insurance Services, we help you fill the gaps in Medicare with smart, optional insurance plans designed to cover what traditional Medicare and even Advantage plans often miss.
What Is Optional Medicare Coverage?
Optional or supplemental coverage refers to add-on insurance plans that:
- Support your recovery after serious illness or surgery
- Cover out-of-pocket costs for hospital stays or treatment
- Help with everyday care like dental, vision, or hearing
- Provide peace of mind during end-of-life planning
These plans don't replace your Medicare — they enhance it.
Common Add-On Coverage Types (With Use Cases)
Cancer, Heart Attack & Stroke Insurance
One-time benefit paid after diagnosis. Use when diagnosed with cancer, heart attack, or stroke.
Why it matters:
- Helps pay for treatment Medicare doesn't cover
- Covers recovery costs or time off work
- Offers financial breathing room during a crisis
Hospital Indemnity Plans
Daily cash benefit for hospital stays. Use when:
- Your Advantage plan charges daily inpatient copays
- You want protection from surprise hospital costs
- You need help with follow-up recovery expenses
Also covers, with some plans: ER visits, skilled nursing stays and outpatient surgeries.
Dental, Vision & Hearing Plans
Routine care Medicare skips. Use when you need glasses, dentures, fillings, or hearing aids, or you want preventative care access.
May include:
- Cleanings and X-rays
- Denture fittings
- Eye exams and lenses
- Hearing tests and devices
Short-Term Recovery Plans
In-home support after hospital or surgery. Use when recovering from an illness or surgery, or when Medicare won't fully cover at-home recovery care.
Covers:
- Temporary home health help
- In-home nursing
- Transition care from hospital to home
Final Expense Life Insurance
Covers end-of-life costs. Use when you want to ease the financial burden on loved ones, or pre-plan funeral or cremation expenses.
Why it helps: it removes guesswork for your family and keeps a difficult moment from becoming a financial one.
