    Medigap insurance premiums can widely vary from one insurer to another. During Open Enrollment periods, any existing medical conditions you have will not impact the premium.

    There are also many different Medigap pans (A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M and N), Part A coinsurance and hospital costs up to an additional 365 days after Medicare benefits are used up are included on all plans. But there are differences in benefits with other coverage.

    To view specific Medigap plans and rates in your area, simply contact an experienced broker and/or a reputable and reliable website. Details can be fully explained.

    MediGap - or Medicare Supplement - insurance varies by plan and by zip code.
    There are several plans to choose from: A, B, C, D, F, G K, L, M, N  - and yes, these letters stand for something different than Medicare A & B, or Part C or D.   Which creates some confusion.
    But Medicare Part A & B basically only pay 80% of anything - so the options to help cover all or most of the 20% is either a Medicare Advantage plan or a Medicare Supplement plan -also known as a MediGap plan, and also labeled with letters.
    The supplement plans most often sold are Plans F, G and N.
    An example: Say plan F is $150.00 a month - with no copays and virtually no out of pocket limit costs past on to the insured.  A plan G may cost $100.00 a month, with $20.00 copays and still virtually no out of pocket limit costs past on to the insured.   Plan G can be a great option to save monthly and have small $20.00 copays when you do need to see a physician.
    It is best to speak with an independent agent who sells both Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplements, so that your education is complete, fair and unbiased.
    Hope this clarifies!

    Age is actually the biggest factor in determining the cost of Medigap/Medicare Supplement insurance. For example, someone purchasing a policy at age 65 will have a lower premium than someone purchasing a policy at age 70. The plan type (level of coverage) and region are also big factors as prices vary from one region to the next. I would agree that working with an independent agent would be ideal as the agent can can thoroughly educate you on all of your available options, help determine which option best meets your needs and then shop to find that option at the lowest rate.

    Medigap Insurance (Medicare Supplement Insurance) will vary based on which plan, smoking status, age & your location.  However, the cost of Medigap Insurance is small when you consider the protection it will give you.  If someone just has Medicare Part A & B they will be paying about 20% of there healthcare expenses with no cap.  In contrast, a good Medigap Insurance Plan will cover the co-insurance, deductibles & co-pays so you won't have any surprises.
