How to Shop For a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan?
One of the great things about shopping for Medicare Supplement Insurance is that these plans are mandated by federal law to have standardized coverage. Some companies can offer additional benefits beyond the standard benefits included in these plans, but keep in mind that such services are not a part of the policy, may be discontinued at any time and, as appropriate, may be subject to geographic availability.

Plan F and Plan G Are the Two Most Popular Plans.
Compare Plan F & Plan G Rates! SAVINGS UP TO 65%
Medicare Supplemental Insurance plans have letter designations (A-N) indicating the benefits included with each plan. Under federal law, all Medicare Supplement plan (A-N) benefits are the same with all companies. The ONLY difference among company plans is the price. The two most popular plans are Medicare Supplement Plan F and G. Plan G became very popular beginning June 1, 2010. On that date, Plan G benefits were increased to be exactly like Plan F except for the Medicare Part B calendar-year deductible. Plan F pays the Medicare Part B calendar-year deductible and Plan G doesn’t. That is the ONLY difference between the two plans. The Medicare Part B calendar-year deductible is $147 for 2013. Understanding this difference is the first step to comparing these two plans.
Why Plan G Is a Better Choice Than Plan F
There are several significant reasons that Plan G is more advantageous:
1. First and foremost, you need to understand the coverage differences.
There is only ONE difference in coverage between Plan F and Plan G and that difference is the coverage of the Medicare Part B deductible. This deductible is $147 for 2013 ($140 for 2012) and applies to doctor's office charges. Plan F covers this deductible while Plan G does not.
2. Second, do the simple math on comparing G and F plans.
In most cases and with most companies, Plan G is a good bit less expensive than F. Since there is only the one benefit difference that was mentioned above, you can easily do the math to see which plan makes the most sense for you. If the premium difference between the two plans is greater than $12.25/month, then Plan G makes the most sense. Depending on your age and gender, you can save $300, $600 or even $1,000 per year in exchange for having to pay out the $147 calendar-year deductible. That's a no-brainer!
3. Last, understand the ramifications of "guaranteed issue" underwriting.
Possibly even more importantly, Plan F is offered in several instances on a "guaranteed issue" basis. This means that no medical questions are asked. This is a federal requirement, so companies have to take people into Plan F that they might, not otherwise accept or approve. This is not the case with Plan G, which does not fall under this "guaranteed issue" requirement. Because of this, most people agree that Plan F premium increases are likely to be higher than those for Plan G in the future.
Comparing Plan G and Plan F is not difficult to do. However, many people do not take the time to do it, and thus end up paying out much more per year than they need to. By following these simple steps, you can see which plan makes the most sense for you and make an informed choice.

Do the math yourself and see how much you can SAVE. Remember: the only difference between Plan F and Plan G is the Medicare Part B deductible of $147 in 2013.

How Premium Rates Increase!
Most Medicare insurance companies will adjust their premium rates each year in North Carolina. However, the North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI) approves rates only after a careful review of each company’s claims data. The following reasons are used by most companies to justify a rate increase each year:
- Age change, age band change or a change in the premium discount percentage
- Overall claims experience
- Medical claims trends
- Any changes in the Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B deductibles
