Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Medicare Supplement plan in San Antonio?
Plan G is the most comprehensive Medigap plan available to new Medicare enrollees in San Antonio. It covers all Medicare-approved costs except the Part B deductible. Plan N offers lower monthly premiums in exchange for small copays on some office and emergency room visits � a good option for beneficiaries who are generally healthy and want to reduce their premium cost.
When is the best time to enroll in a Medigap plan in Texas?
Your strongest rights are during your six-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which begins the month you are both age 65 and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this window, Texas carriers cannot deny you coverage or charge higher premiums based on your health history. Outside this period, most carriers in Texas can use medical underwriting, so enrolling on time is critical.
Does Texas have any extra Medigap consumer protections?
Texas offers some consumer protections through the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI). The TDI can be reached at 1-800-252-3439 or at www.tdi.texas.gov. They can clarify your current guaranteed-issue rights and assist you if you believe a carrier has acted improperly. Texas also has a State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) called the Health Information Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP), which provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling to San Antonio residents.
Can I use my Medigap plan outside of San Antonio or Texas?
Yes. Medicare Supplement plans work with Original Medicare, which is accepted by any doctor, hospital, or specialist nationwide who participates in Medicare. Whether you are traveling, visiting family in another state, or spending part of the year elsewhere, your Medigap coverage goes with you � there are no network restrictions or referral requirements.
