Supplemental Insurance That Fills the Gaps

Even with Medicare or health insurance in place, there are still areas where traditional plans fall short. That’s where supplemental insurance comes in. These optional policies can provide added protection, peace of mind, and flexibility—especially as your healthcare needs evolve.


At BCI Insured, we’ll help you determine which supplemental policies (if any) make sense for your situation—and explain them in plain English. Our guidance is always free, and there’s never pressure to enroll.

What Is Supplemental Insurance?

Supplemental insurance refers to coverage designed to help with specific needs or out-of-pocket expenses not fully addressed by Medicare or standard health plans.


Some common examples include:

Covers routine checkups, cleanings, eyeglasses, and more.

These are examples only. Every plan is different. We’ll walk you through the options available in your state and explain what’s covered.

Dental & Vision Insurance

Routine dental and vision care are not included in Original Medicare. Supplemental plans can help cover:

  • Cleanings, x-rays, fillings
  • Eye exams, glasses, or contacts

Some Medicare Advantage plans include these services, but others don’t—so having a stand-alone plan may make sense depending on your situation.

Cancer & Critical Illness Insurance

These plans are designed to help reduce the financial stress that can come with a diagnosis. Payouts may be used for:

  • Out-of-network treatments
  • Travel or lodging expenses
  • Everyday bills during recovery

We’ll help you evaluate whether this kind of coverage could provide meaningful peace of mind.

Disability & Hospital Indemnity Insurance

We can also help with:

  • Disability coverage that helps protect your income
  • Coverage for out-of-pocket expenses related to a hospital stay

These aren’t for everyone—but if they’re important to you, we’ll help you explore the options.

FAQs About Supplemental Insurance


  • Do I need supplemental insurance if I already have Medicare?

    Possibly. Medicare doesn’t cover everything—especially dental, vision, and hearing. We’ll help you assess your needs.

  • Can I bundle multiple supplemental plans?

    Yes, many clients choose more than one type of supplemental coverage. We’ll help you keep it simple and cost-effective.

  • How do I know which carrier is best?

    That’s where we come in. We’ll help you compare plans from multiple carriers so you can make the best decision for your needs.
