Medigap Plan High Deductible G: New Option after 2020
Medigap High Deductible G to replace High Deductible F
After January 1st 2020, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) will change Medicare Supplement plans in all states. It will change who can buy Medigap Plans F, High F, and C. As of 2020 only beneficiaries that do not fall into the category of “newly eligible” will be able to keep Plan F, High F and C.
Why Medigap High Deductible G?
Since Plan High Deductible F cannot be purchased by those newly eligible Medicare recipients, Plan High Deductible G will become a new option. Plan High Deductible G will be accessible beginning January 1, 2020. Both newly eligible Medicare recipients and current recipients will have the chance to purchase this new plan.
What is Medigap High Deductible G going to cover?
As of now, we are still waiting for details on the coverage of High G. We assume members of the new High G Medigap will have to satisfy a high deductible before all the benefits of traditional G are covered but the new benefit summary is not yet available. We recommend you keep coming to this post as we will update it soon!
MACRA is coming in 2020, so which plan should I buy now?
You want to choose the plan that best addresses your issues now and later on. Most of our clients rely on Plan G for their best short and long-term solution but this may not be your case. You can get a quote and enroll in Medigap Plan F and G here. Should you want to discuss your specific case, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 800-930-7956.

Hi, IS there a low deductible plan G After Jan. 1st 2020. Thanks
We are a little confused by your question. There is a regular Medigap Plan G which requires you to pay the Medicare part B deductible. There is the new Medigap G High deductible outline in the article and the new Medigap G Extra in California.

I have plan G. I am confused about the high deductible. I pay a deductible already. Will the amount change and when will we be notified by SS/Medicare. Also are premiums based on annual income. Income was never an issue when I I signed up for medicare.
If you have Plan G you do not have to worry about a high deductible. That will only apply to seniors who enroll in the new High Deductible Plan G once it becomes available in 2020.
There are three different ways in which Medigap can be priced but it is not based on income.

Tdy is 7/10/19;when do you expect to publish details on Plan G, and Plan High G (if there is a high option)?
You can check the details of Plan G here. As for High G, we are still waiting on details. People should be able to enroll a couple of months before 2020 so it shouldn't be long.
If you decide to enroll in either of these plans, give us a call. There is never a fee to work with us.

I understand those who already have Medicare Plan G will continue as is with deductible of $185.00. This article speaks of a Higher Deductible Plan G. Do you have any idea what the deductible will be?
While as of now there is still no certainty on the amount of the High G deductible, it is likely that it will be similar to the High F deductible, which currently is $2300.
If you wish to enroll in this plan, call us before January 1st so we can help you. There is no cost for our services.
