3 Main Factors That Determine Your Medigap Costs

Having a Medigap plan (also known as Medicare supplemental insurance plan) means that the benefits included in it are standardized. In other words, the Medigap Plan from one insurance company and the Medigap Plan from a different insurance company have the same benefits.
It can be a bit tricky, but it’s worth your time to understand what your plan is about. To help you with this, here are the three main factors that determine the cost of your Medigap Plan

The Basics of Medigap Costs

Medigap plans are categorized by letters. These are Medigap Plans A to N. Each of these plans comes with their own benefits. Do some research about the benefits and determine the most suitable plan for you. As they are standardized, what you need to focus on is your budget and if you can afford the plan that you are interested in.

The Factors that Determine the Price of Medigap Plans

Although all insurance companies follow the standard benefits of the Medigap plans, they do not have the same price. An insurance company may also decide to increase the cost as the policyholder gets older. Here are the top 3 factors that determine the cost and the reasons that an insurer will raise it:

  1. Attained Age. The insurance company will base your initial premium on your age at the time of the purchase. As you age, your monthly rate increases.
  2. Issue Age. When you purchase the medigap plan, the monthly rate is determined according to your age. The premiums are usually higher if the purchasers are older.  
  3. Community or No Age. Regardless of age, all purchasers that belong in the same community have the same premium

Other Factors that Affect the Cost of A Medigap Plan

Medicare Select

This kind Medigap plan comes with lower prices. However, not all states offer Medicare Select plans. To buy this plan, you are required to use a pre-defined group of doctors and hospitals.

High-Deductible Plans

Some insurance companies offer Medigap Plans, particularly F and J, with high deductible options. You will pay a lower premium for this plan. But before your coverage takes effect, you will pay higher amounts for medical services.

Medical Underwriting

The insurance companies usually base your premiums according to your medical history. There are also some cases that an insurance company can deny giving coverage. This is because the more health issues a person has, the higher the rate is for that person.

If you are interested in purchasing a Medigap Plan and enjoy its benefits, partner up with an insurance company that offers the best plans.
