SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE
One of the biggest questions
that arise with regard to Medicare and Medicaid is the need for supplemental insurance
coverage. Often, supplemental insurance policies overlap or do not cover the types
of expenses needed by people with disabilities. In the resource section of this
booklet you will find a Guide to long-term Healthcare; Guide to Disability Income
Insurance and Dental Expense Insurance Directory, (provided by the Utah Insurance
Department).
