Medicare Supplement Plans
Medicare Supplements are just as the name says, they supplement Medicare. They do this by paying what Medicare does not pay. For most of the United States Medicare Supplements (Medigap) plans are standardized by the letters A-N. The table below breaks down the benefits of each plan. WI, MN and MA are standardized in a different way. The 3 most popular plans are Plan G, F (the plan F will no longer be offered in 2020) and N. For most states the Plan G offers the most benefits for your premium dollar.
Your Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment period is six months from the time you start
Medicare Part B, normally at age 65. There are different rules for changing Medicare supplement plans depending on what stat you are in. Get the details on changing Medigap plans HERE.

Medicare Advantage Plans
A Medicare Advantage Plan is where a private insurance company administers your Medicare. You still have Medicare Parts A and B but there will be some give and takes with the benefits.
Most people will call anything thing the have with Medicare a "Supplement", but a Medicare Advantage Plan is not a Supplement. With most Medicare Advantage Plans you will have copays for every procedure and will have to stay in a "Network".
A Medicare Health Plan or Advantage plan does have some benefits over original Medicare, in fact a company offering a Medicare Advantage Plan must have benefits at least as good as original Medicare.
You can go into a Medicare Advantage plan during your original open enrollment period and you can change plans during the Annual Open Enrollment period 15 Oct - 07 Dec of every year. There is never any underwriting for a Medicare Advantage Plan. You can read our full Medicare Advantage Plan Article Here.

Part D | Prescription Drug Plan
The final part of Medicare is Part D or Prescription Drug Plan. A part D drug plan is sold by private insurance companies, but the plans or monitored by CMS or Medicare. Every plan must be submitted to Medicare (CMS) for approval and each has to follow minimum standards.
All plans are all scored or graded on a star rating system, from 5 to 1 five being the highest or best rating, this system affects the amount that the plan is paid by Medicare, they all strive to get a 5 star rating.
With a Medicare Part D plan you will pay a monthly premium and you will have copay's on your prescriptions, you also may have a deductible. The copay price is determined by which tier the prescription is in the higher the tier normally the higher the copay.
Medicare Education
Medicare is made up of 4 parts, part A, B, C and D. Only two of the parts come directly from Medicare, parts A & B, the other two parts C and D are purchased from a private insurance company and are monitored by Medicare.
- Medicare Part A: Hospital
- Medicare Part B: Doctors
- Medicare Part C: Medicare Advantage Plans
- Medicare Part D: Prescription Drug Plan

Part A | Cost
You usually don't pay a monthly premium for Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) coverage if you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes for a certain amount of time while working. This is sometimes called "premium-free Part A." Most people get premium-free Part A.
You can get premium-free Part A at 65 if:
1. You already get retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board.
2. You're eligible to get Social Security or Railroad benefits but haven't filed for them yet.
3. You or your spouse had Medicare-covered government employment.
If you're under 65, you can get premium-free Part A if:
1. You got Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits for 24 months.
2. You have End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and meet certain requirements.
Part A premiums:
If you buy Part A, you'll pay up to $413 each month in 2018. If you paid Medicare taxes for less than 30 quarters, the standard Part A premium is $413. If you paid Medicare taxes for 30-39 quarters, the standard Part A premium is $227.
In most cases, if you choose to buy Part A, you must also have Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) and pay monthly premiums for both. Contact Social Security for more information about the Part A premium.
Some people automatically get Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance).
2018 Part B
The standard Part B premium amount in 2018 will be $134 (or higher depending on your income). However, some people who get Social Security benefits pay less than this amount ($130 on average). You'll pay the standard premium amount (or higher) if:
- You enroll in Part B for the first time in 2018.
- You don't get Social Security benefits.
- You're directly billed for your Part B premiums (meaning they aren't taken out of your Social Security benefits).
- You have Medicare and Medicaid, and Medicaid pays your premiums. (Your state will pay the standard premium amount of $134.)
- Your modified adjusted gross income as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago is above a certain amount. If so, you’ll pay the standard premium amount and an Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). IRMAA is an extra charge added to your premium.

What Our Customers Say
Loran did a nice job of explaining Medicare supplement plans and what plan was best for me. He represents a number of Insurance companies and supplied us with prices from a variety of companies before we met with him. He took the time to explain Part D to us so we would be familiar with that also. He was friendly, professional and we enjoyed working with him.
