A quick Medicare Supplement story…
I recently spoke with someone who had been in the same Medicare Supplement plan for years. They assumed all prices were about the same and never thought to review it.
The reality?
Medicare Supplement plans are standardized, which means the benefits are the same no matter which company you choose. The biggest difference is often the monthly premium.
After a quick review, we found the same coverage with a lower premium.
Another important thing many people don’t realize:
You can apply to switch Medicare Supplement companies any time during the year (approval is based on health underwriting in most cases) — you do not have to wait for the Medicare Annual Election Period like Medicare Advantage plans.
Lesson: Don’t assume you have to overpay for the same coverage.
If you’ve had your Medicare Supplement for a few years, it may be worth a quick review.
I’m always happy to help. I'm local and my services are always free.
