Medicare supplemental insurance, commonly known as Medigap, does not have a Part 8. The options provided seem to be a combination of different parts of Medicare and supplementary insurance.

A. It covers the costs of outpatient services.

Explanation: This statement is generally true, but it is associated with Medicare Part B, which covers outpatient services. Medigap plans can help cover some of the out-of-pocket costs associated with Medicare Part B services.

B. It must be purchased and is a subsidized medical policy.

Explanation: This statement is partially true. Medigap policies must be purchased, but they are not subsidized. Individuals pay private insurance companies for Medigap coverage to help pay for certain costs not covered by Original Medicare (Parts A and B).

C. It covers the costs of speech therapy.

Explanation: This statement is generally true. Medigap plans may cover part or all of the costs associated with Medicare-approved services, including speech therapy.

D. It covers medication costs.

Explanation: This statement is not entirely accurate. Medigap plans do not cover prescription drugs. Coverage for prescription medications is typically provided through Medicare Part D, which is a separate prescription drug coverage plan.

A. Hospice care.

Explanation: Both Medicare Part A and Part B cover hospice care, and hospice care is not a fundamental difference between the two parts.

B. Home care services.

Explanation: Both Medicare Part A and Part B cover certain home care services. While the specific services covered may vary, home care services are not a fundamental difference between the two parts.

C. Health care setting.

Explanation: Medicare Part A and Part B cover different aspects of healthcare and are designed for different health care settings.

Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance): Primarily covers inpatient hospital care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health care services. It is generally associated with institutional settings.

Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance): Covers outpatient care, preventive services, doctor visits, and some home health care services. It is more focused on services provided in non-institutional settings.

D. Invasive procedures.

Explanation: Both Medicare Part A and Part B cover various medical services, including invasive procedures. The nature of procedures covered may differ, but it is not a fundamental difference distinguishing between Part A and Part B.
