Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Medicare Supplement plan in Harris County?

When is the best time to enroll in Medicare Supplement in Texas?
During your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period, which begins the month you are both 65 and enrolled in Part B. During this window no insurer can deny you coverage or charge more due to health conditions.
Do I need a referral to see a specialist with a Medigap plan?
No. Original Medicare does not require referrals. You can see any specialist who accepts Medicare anywhere in the United States with no prior authorization required.
Can I switch Medicare Supplement plans after I enroll?
Yes, but outside of your Open Enrollment Period you may be subject to medical underwriting. If you are in good health, switching to a lower-cost carrier for the same plan level is often straightforward.
