Medicare Question - Does medicare supplement cover chemo?

I read on the medicare website that Medicare A or B pays for all but 20% of chemo costs. I signed up for Supplement J which I think covers the most. Will J pay for that 20% that medicare A&B don't cover?

We are getting out of the Medicare Advantage program because it is so limited on the doctors available.

    Yes, Plan J (in addition to almost all of the other Medigap plans) does cover the 20% that Medicare A & B does not cover. You should not have any out-of-pocket costs at all at the doctor/hospital with Medigap Plan J.

    Good move on steering clear of the MA's, which have changed drastically for 2010.

    What about plan F? Does plan F cover this also with no out of pocket expense?
