A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy is health insurance sold by private insurance companies to fill the gaps in Original Medicare Plan coverage. Medigap policies help pay some of the health care costs that the Original Medicare Plan doesn't cover.
Internal Medicine encompasses the care of all adults, healthy and sick. Internists (as all doctors who complete an internal medicine residency are called) can be generalists or subspecialists, like cardiologists or rheumatologists. If you choose not to subspecialize, you are known as a General Internist.
An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult populationâboth acute and chronic. These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions.
