MEDIGAP PLANS [Medicare Supplemental Coverage]

Do you keep up with the changes your state makes through legislation to Medigap plans [Medicare Supplemental plans].

 

These could affect you in certain situations 

  • your ability to switch plans or insurers at a specified time during the year
  • OR perhaps buy a Medigap policy if you are less than 65 years old and on Medicare.
  • OR even if you have ALS or ESRD in some states.  

Your State’s legislators should know of these changes as well as your state’s dept of insurance.  Also the SHIP counselors in your state as well as the Medicare plan agents and brokers.

    Thanks for posting. You've brought up a topic that needs thoughtful debate. I follow legislative discussion in North Carolina and so far, I know of no interest in passing legislation making it easier to get into a Medigap plan without medical underwriting - and that suits me just fine because such well-intentioned legislation would drive up premium prices for everyone by allowing unhealthy people to buy Medigap plans.
