3 Questions to Ask Before You Buy a Medigap Plan in Scottsdale
1. Does the agent represent multiple insurance carriers?
An agent who is appointed with only one company can only show you that company's rates. In the Scottsdale market, premiums for identical Plan G coverage can differ by more than 180 percent between carriers. Ask every agent: "How many Medicare Supplement companies are you appointed to sell?" An independent agent representing five or more carriers gives you a meaningful comparison and a far better chance of finding the lowest available rate for your situation.
2. What has the carrier's rate-increase history looked like over the past three to five years?
The lowest premium today does not guarantee the lowest premium in three years. Some insurers entering a new market price aggressively and then raise rates sharply once they have built a book of business. Ask your agent to show you the annual rate-increase history for any carrier you are considering. A good agent will have this data readily available — and a willingness to share it is itself a signal that you are working with someone trustworthy.
3. What state resources are available if I have a complaint or billing dispute?
Arizona residents have access to the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI), which licenses carriers and agents operating in the state and handles consumer complaints. You can reach DIFI at difi.az.gov or by phone at 602-364-2499. Arizona also participates in the federally funded State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), known locally as the Arizona SHIP, which provides free, unbiased Medicare counseling to Scottsdale residents.
