• Referrals are still required.

Medicare Supplement plans (a.k.a. MediGap):

• These plans don't provide any additional benefits beyond straight Medicare. If straight Medicare won't cover it, a Medicare Supplement won't either. These plans only help cover copays, which don't apply to nutrition counseling.
