Finding Your Maryland Medicare Supplement Plan

Now that you understand signing up for Medicare, it is time to find the best Maryland Medicare Supplement Plan for you.  While rates for Medicare Supplement Plans Maryland are very important, you need to also look at the company and the rate increase history.  What might be the absolute cheapest monthly premium now, could end up very costly down the road.

Medicare Supplement Companies tend to come into an area with a very low “introduction price” in essence they are buying new business.  After they start building the book of business they will raise the rates significantly to cover the losses.  This is just one of the reasons we at Medicare Solutions Team carry over twenty Medicare Supplement Plans Maryland providers.

EASILY COMPARE PLANS AND RATES

Medicare Supplement Plans, sometimes called Medigap Plans are set and standardized by CMS (Medicare).  They offer 10 plans but the three most popular are Plan F, Plan G and Plan N.

Maryland Medicare Supplement Plan F

The Plan F Medicare Supplement Plan Maryland, simply put, covers everything.  On the face that seems like a great idea, but there are a few reasons why.

  1. It is the most expensive Plan on the Market
  2. It has the highest rate increases of all the Medicare Supplement Plans
  3. The Medicare Supplement Plan F will no longer be available to new enrollment as of 2020.

**The Medicare Supplement Plan F High deductible plan will not be changed in 2020.

Maryland Medicare Supplement Plan G

The Medicare Supplement Plan Maryland that offers the most coverage for the lowest premium is the Medigap Plan G.  The Medicare Supplement Plan G offers the exact same benefits of Plan F except that you will pay the Part B deductible.  The Part B deductible is set by Medicare and can change, but at this time it is $183.00 per year. 

The Maryland Medicare Supplement Plan G is normally $300.00 to $400.00 per year less in premium than the Plan F and historically has much lower rate increases.  

Once the Part B deductible ($233.00 for 2022) is paid, your benefits will be identical to the Medicare Supplement Plan F.  Why would anyone want to pay an insurance company $300.00 to $400.00 a year more just to pay a $233.00 deductible.

Maryland Medicare Supplement Plan N

Medicare Supplement Plan N is one of the lowest cost Medicare Supplement Plans, but you will take on a little more risk and out-of-pocket costs.  With a Medigap Plan N, you will have a copay of $20.00 for the doctor visits and $50.00 for an emergency room visit.

Paying a copay is something that most people are used to, and does add some cost if and when you go to the doctor, but there is another facet of the Plan N that you need to be aware of.

Plan N does not cover Medicare Part B excess charges, now this could be a big deal or nothing at all.  If a doctor accepts Medicare but is not assigned by Medicare he can legally charge you 15% over the Medicare-approved amount.  You would then be responsible for that extra cost.

Medicare Assignment

Medicare Assignment means that your doctor, provider, or supplier agrees (or is required by law) to accept the Medicare-approved amount as full payment for covered services.

Now the excess charges could end up not being a problem at all, in fact, there are some states that do not allow the excess charges, sadly Maryland is not one of them.  As of the last report, approximately 93% of doctors across the United States accept Medicare Assignment and if you do your due diligence when looking for a doctor or having a procedure done, it should not be a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Maryland Medicare Supplement plans and Medicare Advantage?

Medicare Supplement plans (Medigap) were designed to work with Original Medicare to fill the gaps created by Medicare’s deductible, coinsurance, and copays. Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) was designed to replace Original Medicare Part A, Part B, and Part D and is offered by and administered by private health insurance companies.

Is the Maryland Medicare Supplement plan G worth it?

Plan G is worth the cost because it covers most of your out-of-pocket expenses. Plan G is especially financially helpful when your health starts to decline or when you need routine care to manage a chronic illness.

What company has the best Medicare Supplement plan in Maryland?

Choosing the best Montana Medicare Supplement plan will depend on your personal health circumstances and monthly budget. Many Medicare health insurance brokers generally look at UnitedHealthcare, AARP, Mutual of Omaha, and Aetna as their go-to insurance companies.

What are excess charges?

Excess charges are the portion of your doctor bill that Medicare will pay and the actual charge by your doctor. This will only apply if your doctor does not “accept assignment” and cannot be more than 15% of the total bill. Some states prohibit excess charges and some Medicare Supplement plans cover these charges.
