Shenandoah Life scored 3.0 out of 5.0 based on our scoring method. Shenandoah Life has a good financial rating from A.M. Best, but their Plan F is not in the top 10 best rates and they have less than 10 years experience servicing Medicare Supplements. Plus, they ding you with a $25.00 policy fee. We are confident in their financial strength, but feel there are better options in Virginia. See the top 10 competition.
