Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan E is a middle of the road policy as it covers many of the major gaps left by Medicare Insurance but lacks other coverages. Though it can in some cases be a cost effective plan, it is recommended to only purchase a Plan E under rare conditions.

The only reason to purchase a plan E rather than a more comprehensive Plan F or Plan J is because of price and normally more comprehensive coverage will cost you less if you shop around multiple Medicare Supplement Insurance Companies.
