Finding Your New Jersey Medicare Supplement Plan

Medicare Supplement Plans – Under Age 65

All Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans are standardized according to federal rules, and individuals have a six-month period to enroll once they turn 65 and have enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B.

The federal rules do not guarantee that individuals under 65 will have access to Medigap plans but have left it to the states.

The state of New Jersey has adopted the following rules for individuals under age 65 to qualify for Medicare Supplement plans:

  • Medicare beneficiaries under age 50 are eligible for guaranteed issue coverage through a carrier contracted by the state with Plan D as the only option.
  • Medicare beneficiaries between ages 50 and 64 are eligible for guaranteed issue Plan D from any insurer that offers Plan D and are authorized to sell Medicare Supplements in New Jersey.

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.

New Jersey Medicare Supplement Plan F

The Plan F Medicare Supplement Plan New Jersey, 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.

New Jersey Medicare Supplement Plan G

The Medicare Supplement Plan New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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.

New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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

Do New Jersey Medicare Supplement Plans cover the Medicare Part B deductible?

CMS stopped private insurance companies that sell Medicare Supplements from covering the Part B deductible effective Jan 1, 2020. However, if you have a Plan F that predates Jan 1, 2020, you will be allowed to renew it in most cases

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.

Which New Jersey Medicare Supplement plan is least expensive?

The least expensive New Jersey Medicare Supplement plan is Plan A. However, even though Plan A has the lowest premiums, you will likely pay significant out-of-pocket expenses because Plan A offers the lowest amount of coverage.

Are New Jersey Medicare Supplement plans available to people under 65?

Yes. The state of New Jersey requires all approved Medicare Supplement plan providers to offer Plan D to individuals between ages 50 and 65 who are disabled.
