3 Questions to Ask Before You Buy a Medigap Plan in Detroit
1. Am I comparing the same plan letter across carriers?
Medigap plans are standardized by federal law — a Plan G from Company A covers exactly the same benefits as a Plan G from Company B. The only variable is the monthly premium. Never trade down on coverage without understanding what you're giving up.
2. How does this carrier's rate increase history look?
Some companies offer a low introductory rate, then raise premiums aggressively. Ask your agent for the carrier's rate increase history over the past 5 years. A company averaging 3% annual increases is a much better long-term value than one averaging 8–10%, even if the starting rate is slightly higher.
3. Is this carrier financially stable?
Check the insurer's AM Best financial strength rating before enrolling — look for A- or better. In Michigan, all Medigap insurers must be licensed by the Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS), but financial strength varies widely between carriers.
