REVIEW: Americo Life Medicare Supplements in South Dakota

Americo Life scored 3.5 out of 5.0 based on our scoring method. Americo 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. We are confident in their financial strength, but feel there are better options in South Dakota. See the top 10 competition.

Here are the pros and cons from our analysis:

Pros

  • Excellent financial strength.
  • No charge for writing the policy.

Cons

  • Plan F premium not in top 10 best.
  • Fewer than 5 years in the Medicare Supplements business.
  • Does not offer Medicare SELECT plans.
  • Does not offer the 5 most popular plans.

We reviewed Americo Life's Medigap plan offering in South Dakota versus all other carriers in the state. Our review is unbias. We use a formula that looks at years in business, A.M. Best financial strength rating, plans serviced, plan premiums and fees. We did not take into account rate increase history.

About this Review

This page presents an independent review of Americo Life as a Medicare Supplement insurance carrier in South Dakota as compared to all other carriers. MedicareWire provides this information for consumer educational purposes. Our goal is to present information accurately and without bias, based on our interpretation of factual information about each carrier.

Medicare Supplement insurance, also known as Medigap insurance, must follow federal and state laws and does not work with any other type of health insurance, including Medicare Advantage Plans, employer/union group health coverage, Medicaid, Veterans Administration (VA) benefits, or TRICARE. Insurance companies, including Americo Life, can only sell you a standardized Medigap policy identified by letters A through M. Each standardized policy must offer the same benefits, no matter which insurance company sells it. Cost is the primary difference between Medigap policies sold by different insurance companies.

Additional Foot Notes
