How Can I Get Medicare Supplement Plan G Prices?

Unfortunately, most insurance companies no longer openly publish their rates online without requiring you to meet with an agent or enter your personal information first. So, although some companies put their Medicare Supplement Plan G prices online, the information will be slanted towards that one company and will not be a full picture of what is available to you.

There are two options for obtaining the prices for a Medicare Supplement Plan G. One, you can contact your state department of insurance to get a list of all the companies offering supplement plans in your state – usually around 30-35 companies. From there, you can contact each insurance company’s call center and set an appointment to have an agent from each company come to your home so you can meet with them and obtain the rates for their plans. Sounds enjoyable, right?!?!

The much-simpler, more consumer-friendly alternative is to contact a trusted, verified independent Medicare insurance broker. Whether that broker is 65Medicare.org or someone else, using an independent broker gives you the opportunity to compare multiple options in a centralized, unbiased place. The broker works with you based on your needs and is incentivized to put you in a plan that you are happy with and that fits your needs, not one that helps their employer’s bottom line.

What Does Plan G Cover?

If you are already looking into Medicare Supplement Plan G prices, you likely are already familiar with what Plan G covers. But if not, here’s a brief overview.

First and foremost, here is the Medigap standardized plans chart – this chart shows the plans that all insurance companies are allowed to offer. If a company is going to sell Medicare Supplement plans, it has to be one or more of the plans listed on this chart.

Plan G, in particular, covers all the “gaps” in Medicare, with the one exception of the Medicare Part B deductible. This deductible is currently (2021) $203/year. So, if you have a Plan G, the plan will pay the Medicare co-pays, coinsurance, and the Medicare Part A deductible – your only out-of-pocket costs would be the Medicare Part B deductible amount, currently $203/year.

How Do I Sign Up for a Plan G?

So, once you understand what Plan G covers and have obtained the Medicare Supplement Plan G prices, you can move to the next step of comparing the specific options in your area and enrolling in a plan. Although this is the most important step, it is also the easiest one to do.

Most insurance companies now offer online applications that are streamlined, easy to do and painless. In particular, if you are turning 65, you in your initial open enrollment period. During this time period, you do not have to answer any medical questions or “qualify” to obtain a plan.

If you are already working with an independent broker, that broker can provide you the application or the online link to your customized application so you can enroll. If you are not working with a broker yet, you can contact the specific company you want to sign up for and they will (in most cases) direct you to a broker that can enroll you.
