subject: Medicare Supplement Plans by Definition [print this page] At the year 2010, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or NAIC, made major revisions and modifications to the Medicare supplement plans system, including the elimination of plans E, H, I, and the highly-deductible plan J. Such plans are eliminated due to the reason that preventive-care and at-home recovery benefits are eliminated. Without these benefits, plans would have been redundant. However, they added a hospice benefit to all remaining plans, which covers the five percent coinsurance charged for respite care and drugs during hospice care.
