Which Supplemental Medicare Plans Does Gerber Life Offer in Florida?

Issue-Age Rated Medigap Plans: With an Issue Age rated plan your monthly premium is based on your age you're first issued coverage. For instance, if your get your policy at age 65 and your premium is $125, it may remain the same rate until age 72. However, you're age 72 when you enroll, your premium might start at $170, but would not increase based on by your age. Premiums will increase with inflation.

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: Gerber Life offers Medicare SELECT plan policies in some areas of Florida. 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.
