Medigap plans have been standardized by federal and state law. Standardized plans are designated by the letters A through N. Standardized means that no matter who you buy the plan from it will be the same.
-
You can change Medigap plans at any time if you health qualify. Health qualify means answer no to a short list of questions and if being treated for a chronic illness being stable on the same medication for 2 years. We represent several carriers and can get coverage for 95% of the people that we help apply for coverage.
-
Medigap plans do not include drug coverage which must be purchased separately.
-
You have certain rights under Medicare rules to join or rejoin Medigap plans as a guaranteed issue. Those rights are listed in Section 3 of “Choosing a Medigap Policy”.

•Historically the most common plan chosen is Plan F. With a plan F most people will have no out of pocket expenses other than the premium, and drug coverage which must be purchased separately. Plan N is a lower priced option chosen by many people. With Plan N you pay the Part B deductible, co-pays for certain doctor visits and excess charges if applicable. Excess charges of 15% above Medicare’s fee schedule can only be charged by providers that do not accept Medicare. Since 90% of providers are Medicare providers this might not ever happen.
For more information or to look at enrollment materials to help you decide if you qualify or are interested in this coverage give us a no obligation call to discuss your situation.
Household discounts and a discount for automatic payment may apply. Rates are subject to change generally on an annual basis. Actual rate for some companies will be determined upon acceptance into the program based on eligibility criteria and your medical conditions. See plan documents for full details. Never cancel other insurance before receiving acceptance in writing from the carrier.
