Compare Standardized Medigap Plans
As you begin shopping and learning about the various Medigap companies, you’ll quickly notice that there’s a big difference in cost. Some companies charge more even though the coverage is exactly the same. It’s one of the most misunderstood parts about Medicare supplement companies and plans. You need to start out by understanding that our government standardized Medicare supplements beginning in early 1990s. They did this to make sure shoppers like you could compare similar Medigap plan letters and know that the coverage is the same no matter which company you purchased it from. In other words, if you’re shopping for Medigap Plan G – your doctor network, coverage and benefits will all be the same no matter the company you choose. Everything is the same except for cost! The same rules apply with Plan F and Plan N too!
Medicare’s “Choosing a Medigap Policy”
When referencing Medicare’s official guide to buying Medigap, it says: “Cost is usually the only difference between Medigap policies with the same letter sold by different insurance companies.”
