How to Pick the Right Medigap Plan
We think you will agree that the Medigap Chart makes it easy to compare plans. Now that you have had a chance to compare Medigap benefits, you will find it easy to choose a plan that is best for you. With that said, we have a recommendation.
Our Medicare Supplement plan recommendation is Medigap Plan G. As you can see, it’s the Medicare Supplement plan that offers the most coverage. If you find the premium is too high in your area, consider Medigap Plan N.
Keep in mind with Medicare Supplement Plan N, while you’ll pay less than Plan G per month for your premium, if you visit the doctor frequently (up to $20 a visit) or emergency room ($50 per visit), it could end up costing a lot more.
Pro tip: Medigap plans are standardized, so you can pick the plan letter you like best from any company, and you’ll have the exact same benefits. Basically shop by price. Yes, in this case, cheaper can be better.
Can I switch plans if I change my mind?
Choosing a Medigap plan can feel overwhelming—and realizing later that it’s not the right one can be frustrating. But there’s good news: depending on where you are in your Medicare timeline, you may still have options. If it’s been less than six months since your Part B started, you’re eligible to switch without health questions. After that, state rules might help, and if they don’t, our AI Medigap Underwriting Checker can show you your odds. Call us if you’d like some guidance—we’re happy to help at no cost.
