Medicare Insurance California Costs – June 2020
California has some of the lowest cost Medicare insurance options. A male turning age 65 in San Francisco can pay as little as $115-per-month. In Los Angeles it can cost $135-per-month according to the 2020 Medicare Supplement Insurance Price Index. If he lived in Philadelphia he potentially could pay as much as $509 for virtually identical coverage.
The analysis of 2020 Medigap pricing was released today by the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance (AAMSI).
“Many things cost more in California but that’s not true for quality Medicare insurance coverage,” shares Jesse Slome, AAMSI’s director. The organization compiled rates for Medigap Plan G rates for metropolitan areas.
“The various insurance companies each sets their own rates. There can be a significant difference between the lowest and the highest cost,” Slome notes. “In some markets the highest rate was over two times higher.” The Association’s mid-year price analysis examined Plan G plan costs.
