AARP Medicare Supplement Insurance
Why Compare AARP Medicare Supplement Insurance?
The American Association for Medicare Supplement insurance does NOT endorse, sell or recommend any particular insurance company or policy. We are not affiliated with AARP. We do encourage consumers to compare costs and policies because selecting your Medigap policy is an important decision.
Here’s one important reason that comparing is important. According to the Association’s 2018 analysis of Medicare Supplement policies, in Manhattan (New York City) the AARP Medicare Supplement policy (Plan F for a 65 year old) was the least expensive available policy choice at $292.50-per-month. But in Philadelphia, the AARP policy was the most expensive at $356.12-per-month (the least expensive policy cost $134.08-per-month).

Questions To Ask Your Medicare Insurance Professional
For many people, especially those who had their health insurance options provided through work, selecting a Medicare insurance option can be confusing. There are Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plans … there are Medicare Advantage options … and that’s just the beginning.
It’s an important choice – because when you need healthcare – the choices you make now are going to determine your care options down the road.
For that reason, we recommend working with what we call a Medicare insurance specialist. That’s someone who is willing to educate consumers and help them select the best option for their needs and budget.
ONE COMPANY – or MULTIPLE COMPANIES? Some insurance agents can only offer Medicare insurance from one company. Some (typically referred to as brokers) can offer policies from multiple companies. Here’s what you should ask: “how many Medicare insurance companies are you appointed to sell?”. Appointed is industry jargon that means they can sell you a policy (and earn a commission for doing so).
WHAT IS THE COMPANY’S HISTORY OF RATE INCREASES? The lowest rate may seem attractive but rates can change and so it is important to ask the agent or broker you are working with about the company’s recent record of rate increases.
