SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY: Sentinel Security Life offers Medicare SELECT plan policies in some areas of Louisiana. 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.

Sentinel Security Life scored 3.0 out of 5.0 based on our scoring method.
