A supplemental health insurance plan is a health care plan that covers anything above and beyond the medical coverage of your current health insurance plan.
Supplemental health plans can provide added medical coverage, or, can also be purchased to cover costs not covered by your basic health insurance plan, such as co-insurance, co-pays and deductibles.

Dental insurance for adults
