What Medicare Supplements does AARP Offer in Ohio?
AARP (Insured by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company) offers 10 different Medigap plans in Ohio . Each plan covers the gaps in Original Medicare differently (see comparison chart or check out our review). Here's what AARP offers:
Community Rated Medigap Plans: When a plan is "Community Rated" the community will all be charged the same monthly premium if enrolled in the same plan. As an example, if you enroll at age 65 or 72 you would be charged the same amount. Premiums will increase, but your age will not be a factor.
Call 1-855-728-0510 (TTY 711) for plan assistance.
If you qualify for Medicare and don't know where to start, MedicareEnrollment.com, an independent HealthCompare insurance broker, has licensed agents who can help you with your Medicare enrollment options.
SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY: AARP offers Medicare SELECT plan policies in some areas of Ohio. A Select plan is a Medigap policy that requires you to use specific hospitals and, in some cases specific doctors, to get the full financial benefit of the plan. A Medicare SELECT plan pays the Medicare Part A inpatient deductible when you use a network hospital or if you use a non-network hospital for emergency care. Otherwise, you pay the inpatient deductible. Other than that it's the same as the standard Medigap plan.
The following table shows what each AARP Medigap plan covers:
