How We Chose the Best Medicare Supplement Plans

Finding the right plan for your needs that doesn’t break the bank can frustrate even the most patient Medicare beneficiaries. That’s why our team of experts spent more than 100 hours researching carriers and their plans to see which ones best aligned with the needs and interests of older adults and other Medicare beneficiaries. Below are some of the top factors we considered during our research.

  • Pricing: Finding a Medigap plan that fits your needs and budget can prove challenging. We focused our research on carriers with plans that have competitive pricing. Since Medigap plans are designed to provide coverage for out-of-pocket costs, low premiums are essential to ensure that each plan offers sufficient value.
  • Sign-up process: Like Medicare Advantage, Medigap requires eligible beneficiaries to seek out and sign up for a plan on their own. A simple, straightforward sign-up process is a huge plus, particularly for older adults who may not want to deal with complicated online application forms or long approval times.
  • Availability: Since Medigap plans are offered through private insurance companies, not every plan will be available in your area. Companies that offered plans to people in more ZIP codes won extra points from us.
  • Additional coverage: Medigap plans provide some coverage for things such as deductibles, coinsurance, and copays, but some Medigap carriers offer the ability to add additional coverage via separate policies. A carrier may offer Medigap, Part D, dental insurance, and life insurance, for example, making it easier to take care of all (or most) of your insurance needs in one place.
  • Customer service: From asking questions about plan types to ensuring that you’ll be covered for certain health-care costs, it’s vital that your Medigap carrier can provide friendly, consistent, and helpful customer service. We reached out to every carrier to see how they could be contacted and when they were available, and to get first-hand experience with their representatives.
