Medicare Supplements are also known as Medigap. Not counting the high deductible plans, there are up to 10 standardized Medigap plans<\/a> in 50 states. The plans are lettered from A-N and offer a range of different benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicare Supplements help you cover costs such as copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance. All of which you have to pay out-of-pocket with Original Medicare. Medicare Supplement Plan F is the most comprehensive and complete Medigap plan. Out of 10 Medigap plans, only Plan F offers both Original Medicare Part B deductible and Part B excess charges simultaneously. This is apart from the other benefits it offers, covering more in percentage than other Medigap plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it offers the most benefits, it\u2019s easy to assume that Medicare Supplement Plan F rates<\/strong> are the most expensive. This is not necessarily true. The prices of Medigap Plan F vary depending on your age, gender, smoking state, and state of living. If you enroll for Plan F after your Open Enrollment Period, your insurance provider may charge your higher premium depending on your health status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Open Enrollment Period (OEP)?<\/strong>

Your Open Enrollment Period (OEP)<\/a> is a 6-month period that opens in the month of your 65th<\/sup> birthday. If you have Medicare Part B enrollment, you can also enroll for a Medigap Plan F. By doing this; you will get the best rates available, regardless of your health status.<\/p> <\/div>

What are Age-Rating Models for Medicare Supplement Plan F?<\/strong>

Your Medicare Supplement Plan F rate may be based on one of three age-rating models. With a Community-rated age model, you will pay the same for your Medigap Plan, regardless of your age. Every member of the community will pay an equal premium. With an Issue-Age rate, your premiums depend on how old you were when you enrolled for the plan. An Age-Issue rate is best suited for people who join when they are young. An Attained-Age rate may also decide your premiums. As you age, your premiums will increase.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
