3 Questions to Ask Before You Buy a Medigap Plan in Augusta

1. Does this agent represent multiple carriers, or just one company?

In Augusta, as in the rest of Georgia, some agents are captive to a single insurer while others are independent brokers appointed with many carriers. An independent broker can compare premiums across the market for you. Ask directly: "How many Medicare Supplement companies are you licensed to sell in Georgia?" The answer tells you how broad a comparison you are actually getting.

2. What has this company's rate increase history been in Georgia?

The lowest premium today is not necessarily the lowest cost over time. Carriers file rate increases with the Georgia Department of Insurance, and some companies have histories of steeper increases than others. A knowledgeable Augusta agent should be able to show you recent rate increase data for the carriers they recommend. You can also verify a carrier's filing history directly through the Georgia Office of the Commissioner of Insurance.

3. Am I in my Medigap Open Enrollment Period, and what happens if I miss it?

Your six-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period begins the month you turn 65 and are enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this window, Georgia insurers cannot use medical underwriting to deny coverage or charge you higher premiums based on pre-existing conditions. Once this period closes, switching plans or carriers may require you to pass medical underwriting, which could result in higher costs or denial of coverage. Timing your purchase correctly is one of the most important decisions you will make.
