Looking for a plan to help bridge the gaps in what Medicare pays for? Medicare Supplement plans do just that. They can help pay costs like your copays, deductibles and coinsurance. They are sometimes called Medigap plans.
BlueCross offers BlueCare® and Blue Select® Medicare Supplement plans. You can sign up for these plans at any time. The best time to sign up is during your initial Medicare enrollment.
BlueCare Plans
With a BlueCare plan, you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare — anywhere, anytime. There’s no need to worry about networks, referrals or boundaries. Depending on your plan, you may have no out-of-pocket costs at all for medical expenses. BlueCare plans are available in all South Carolina counties.

Blue Select Plans
Blue Select plans offer the same benefits as BlueCare plans, but at a lower monthly rate. In exchange, you agree to use hospitals in the Blue Select network for inpatient (non-emergency) care. You can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare for outpatient or emergency care, even when you travel.
Blue Select plans are available for consumers who live within a 30-mile radius of a Blue Select network hospital.
