Nevada Birthday Rule Update for January 2022
Beginning January 1, 2022, any individual who is enrolled in a Medicare Supplement plan (Medigap) in the state of Nevada can change to a different insurance company or different Medigap plan. The new window to make a change will be during an annual enrollment period which begins on the first day of the individual’s birth month and lasts for up to 60 days thereafter.
There are three important rules associated with the change:
- The new Medicare Supplement plan must contain benefits that are equal to or or less than the benefits provided in the plan an individual is changing from. For example an individual can change from Plan G to Plan G, Plan G to plan A or plan G to plan B.
- The new Medicare Supplepement (Medigap) plan application must be submitted to the insurance company during the new annual enrollment period with a selected effective date within 90 days from the 1st day of the applicant’s birth month. For example, if the applicant’s birthday is April 10th, the requested effective day must fall between April 1st and June 30th.
- The applicant must provide proof of prior coverage by submitting a copy of the policy declaration page or ID card that includes the name of the Medicare Supplement plan currently in effect.
Nevada Medicare Supplement Plan F
The Plan F Medicare Supplement Plan Nevada, simply put, covers everything. On the face that seems like a great idea, but there are a few reasons why.
- It is the most expensive Plan on the Market
- It has the highest rate increases of all the Medicare Supplement Plans
- 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.
Nevada Medicare Supplement Plan G
The Medicare Supplement Plan Nevada that offers the most coverage for the lowest premium is the Medigap Plan G. The Medicare Supplement Plan G offers the exact same benefits as 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 Nevada 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.

Nevada 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 fact 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 Nevada 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.
