Is it Easy to Switch Medigap plans in Texas?

Not exactly. Once you are outside your Medigap initial enrollment period where everyone is approved, you will usually have to answer health questions first to be approved for Medigap. Most people think there is an annual open enrollment period each year which allows for “free switching” between Medigap insurance companies but this does not exist in Texas. Once again, switching Medigap plans in Texas usually requires a new application, and insurance providers can turn you down.

There are only a few exceptions that allow for guaranteed issued Medigap switching. This is why it is so important that you work with a licensed independent insurance agent to help you select the right plan when you are first eligible. Feel free to call us at 800-930-7956. There is never a charge or hidden fee to work with us and no one can sell the same Medigap plan for less than Senior65.com can.
