There are 12 different standardized plans in most states. The Federal Government standardized these plans and created 12 options for consumers: A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, N, HD-G, HD-F. Each plan covers a different range of costs. Plan F and Plan G offer high deductible plans too. In Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, Medigap policies are standardized in a different way.
What does this mean to you? Because the plans are standardized, you need to be sure that you are getting the best priced plan in your area. You can shop multiple insurance carriers for the best rate. Once you determine which plan is best for you, always compare plan pricing. One other consideration is the insurance companies financial rating. There are many companies that have an A or B+ rating. Always ask what the company is rated.
