Which States Have The Best Supplemental Insurance For Medicare?

Does Supplemental Insurance for Medicare vary from state to state?

Since the Federal government authorizes uniform coverage across all states for Supplemental Insurance for Medicare, all states have equivalent Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plans. For example, if a consumer lives in West Virginia and opts for Medigap Plan A, there is no difference in the plan’s payouts and coverage from a person with Medigap Plan A in South Dakota. In other words, Supplemental Insurance for Medicare Plan A will provide the same coverage and pay in every state.

What is Medigap and How Does it Relate to Supplemental Insurance for Medicare?

Supplemental Insurance for Medicare is also called Medigap because these plans will fill the gap between what Medicare will cover and what the consumer is required to pay for out of their own pocket, such as co-insurance, co-payments and deductibles. In other words, Medigap Plan A will cover those items not covered by Medicare Part A. Medigap plans exist for Plan A through Plan J with Plan J being the most inclusive.

What is the Cost of Supplemental Insurance for Medicare Premiums from state to state?

Although the Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plans are the same from state to state, there are differences in the premiums each state charges for these plans. Private insurers determine the premiums for Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plans. The state must then approve these premiums. Consumers should be aware that private insurers may charge different rates for the same Medigap Plan A, i.e., one insurer may charge more than another insurer for the same exact Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan. Thus, consumers should peruse a number of insurer’s plans when shopping for the best price.
