Medigap Plans are Standardized Medicare Supplements

All Medicare Supplement insurance carriers in Oklahoma 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 fill the gaps in Original Medicare coverage.

All Oklahoma Medicare supplement policies offer the same basic benefits, however, some offer additional gap coverage. This allows you to choose the amount of insurance 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:

• Don't have to offer every Medigap plan
• Must offer Medigap Plan A if they offer any Medigap policy
• Must also offer Plan C or Plan F if they offer any plan

Is Medicare Supplement Plan F the Best Medicare Plan in Oklahoma?

Even though Medicare Plan F is the most expensive, it is the most popular. More than half of all Oklahoma seniors with Medigap coverage choose Plan F. The overwhelming reason is that it offers peace-of-mind with complete inpatient and outpatient gap coverage.

IMPORTANT: If you need the financial protection of Plan F, you must buy a policy prior to January 2020. Congress voted to do away with Medicare Supplement Plan F. Insurance carriers are no longer able to sell these polices after December 31, 2019.

Is AARP's Medicare Supplement the Best Medigap Plan?

AARP sell more Medicare Supplements in Oklahoma than any other carrier. AARP Medicare Supplement plans, by United Healthcare (UHC), provide the same coverage as the standardized Medigap plans from other carriers. The most significant difference is the cost and financial stability of the carrier.

Our research shows that AARP Medigap Plans are usually more expensive than competing plans. That said, in many areas UHC has hospitals under contract, allowing them to offer Medicare SELECT plans at favorable rates. This allows them to be more competitive on monthly premiums, but you must agree to use one of their contracted hospitals.

The three most popular AARP supplements are Plan F, Plan G and Plan N. You can see the difference between these plans on the comparison chart below.

Medicare Supplements vs Medicare Advantage

Still wondering if a Medicare Supplement is the right way to go? Considering Medicare Advantage to cut costs? For many seniors in Oklahoma it's a difficult decision. Here are a couple things to consider.

First, understand the difference between Medigap and Medicare Advantage plans available in Oklahoma. A Medigap plan fills gaps in your Original Medicare benefits. A Medicare Advantage plan may have a similar effect, but it replaces your Original Medicare benefits with managed care, reducing your options.

Second, if you need the most choices and flexibility, Original Medicare combined with a Medicare Supplement and a Oklahoma Medicare Part D plan is the best coverage you can get.
