Medigap Plans in Ohio are Standardized

All Medicare Supplement insurance carriers in Ohio are required to follow both federal and state laws designed to protect you. All Medigap plans must be clearly identified as Medicare Supplement Insurance. Insurance companies must offer the standardized Medicare Plans identified by letters A through N.

NOTE: Medigap, Medicare Supplements and Medicare Plans are all names used interchangeably for supplemental insurance that fills the gaps in Original Medicare coverage.

Each Medicare supplement insurance policy sold in Ohio offers the basic benefits of Plan A. All other lettered plans after A feature additional levels of coverage. This allows you to choose the amount of liability coverage you need.

Each insurance company decides which policies it wants to sell, although state laws might affect which ones they offer. Insurance companies that sell Medicare supplemental insurance:

  • Are not required to offer every Medigap plan
  • Must offer Medigap Plan A (basic benefits)
  • Must also offer Plan C or Plan F
