When it comes to Medicare Supplement (Medigap) insurance, size can have benefits. But in general Medigap policies are virtually identical. In other words a Medigap Plan G from one insurer is going to be identical to a Plan G offered by another insurer. That is in terms of what is covered.
What is not the same is price. And available discounts. Plus, perhaps, some added benefits like free gym or health club memberships. The Association’s 2024 Medigap Price Index Plan G shows the lowest and highest cost for Plan G coverage in 10 major metro areas.
The study found that NO insurance carrier offering the lowest price ALWAYS had the lowest. A company that offered the lowest cost in one market, may have been one of the most expensive in another market.
