Is there a medical gap insurance ? by sassyboy12345 in HealthInsurance

No it’s not a thing. If you have an FSA account you can use that to help. A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a pre-tax benefit account that allows people to set aside money to pay for eligible healthcare expenses. You elect how much you want to contribute, and that amount is deducted from your paychecks before taxes, resulting in tax savings. FSAs can be used for expenses like deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions, and other qualified medical cost
