Medicare supplement plans in Arizona

Did you know that Medicare Supplements are insurance plans that are regulated by the government? Medigap policies are standardized. 

That means whenever you purchase a plan, it will provide you the same exact coverage no matter which carrier you choose.

That’s right. Your plan’s coverage is the same no matter if it’s Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Mutual of Omaha or any other Medigap company.  It’s the LAW!

The Medigap plans are standardized. This is a safety net put in place by CMS. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services did this to protect you. Insurers, by law, can’t make any changes to standardized benefits.
 
CMS does not regulate premiums. Companies adjust rates based on a few a few areas. Inflation, overhead, medical pay outs, and marketing are a few of them.

Keep reading and we’ll explain in more detail.

How do you get a plan that works for you? How much will you pay for your plan? You’re not getting more benefits by paying more.

Arizona Medigap Benefits

 
People are surprised to hear that Original Medicare doesn’t cover 100% of all health care costs. Medicare Part A & Part B covers around 80% of your costs. That means you are responsible for the remaining 20%.
 
That’s where Medigap comes in.
 
Medigap covers the 20% that isn’t covered by Original Medicare. It protects you from the gaps in Original Medicare coverage.
 

How Medicare in Arizona Works

 
You do not get extra benefits by selecting a big or small insurance carrier.
 
The benefits are the same no matter which insurer you choose as long as you shop the same plan letter.
 
Let’s look at how a Medicare Supplement works in AZ. Let’s compare it to an everyday purchase. 
 
Think of Medigap plans like buying gas. 
 
The quality of regular unleaded gasoline is the same at every gas station. 
However, gas may have a different price depending on where you buy it. 
 
You usually buy the least expensive gas because it’s the same regardless of which station you buy it from.
 
That’s how Medigap works. 
 
For example, if you’re want to buy Plan C. You should shop your Plan C with all the insurers in your Zip Code. 
 
Same if you’re shopping for Plan N. Shop all Plan N plans in your Zip Code.

Even though the coverage for Arizona Medicare Supplement plans are the same, the rates are not.

You’ll want to compare costs carefully during your Medigap Open Enrollment. Start by comparing plan letters from each company in your zip code. 
 
For example, compare Plan G from multiple private insurance companies.
 
The prices will be quite different when comparing insurance companies.

(Plans C and F aren’t available to people who were newly eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.)
