Best Medicare Supplement Plans – How to Find and Sign Up for the Best Plan

April 25, 2012 By msc3380

Everyone, of course, wants the “best” Medicare supplement plan. So, what qualifies a plan as the “best” one? There are a few important factors that play into this analysis, and it is important to have a good understanding of Medicare supplement plans and how they work prior to figuring out which plan is best for you.

  • First of all, you should recognize that Medicare supplement plans are Federally-standardized. This goes for the coverage, claim payments and doctor acceptance. This means that there are no differences, other than price and company reputation, from one company to another. So, in short, the “best” plan is usually the least expensive one – the one with the lowest rate.
  • Medicare supplement insurance companies are rated by AM Best, which is an independent organization that rates insurance companies. These ratings can give you an idea of the financial size of the company (i.e. how much money they have in the bank); however, they are not an indication of which company is better or pays claims faster. Claim payments, with Medicare Supplements, are all paid through the Medicare “crossover” system, so there is no variation from one company to another as far as how fast, when or how much they pay on Medicare supplement claims.
  • With the above facts in mind, the comparison of Medicare supplement plans is the next step. To find the best plan, you should find the one that gives you the best rate for your specific situation – rates can vary by age, gender, zip code, etc.

To compare the Medicare Supplement plans, you can call each individual company to get their rates, meet with an agent or look at their unique “selling points”. However, with the knowledge that the plans are standardized, it is most advantageous to compare all of the plan options in a centralized place. Although you cannot do this directly through the individual companies, there are many brokerages which provide the resources to do this, including Medicare-supplement-comparison.com.

Client Testimonials

I appreciate very much your willingness to help each time that I’ve called upon you since I’ve had my coverage. It’s wonderful to find a professional who is honest and willing to assist.
Thomas H., South Carolina, relocating to SC and changing plans
You provide outstanding service to your clients!  I first contacted you in November, 2011.  You have responded to my requests with exceptional promptness, completeness and clarity.  You have also provided helpful and timely information in your Newsletters.  Thank you very much.
James M, AR, long-time, happy client
It’s been a pleasure to work with you. My only complaint is that I did not know of you sooner. You certainly made easy work out of what I was making hard work.
Jean G., South Carolina, losing employer coverage
Bottom line from this accountant – my company wants a combined $295 for my wife and I when we move to AL. The company you’ve suggested is the same coverage for a combined $221. That’s $888/year! I am actually paying $378/month for both of us now, so when we move, we’ll be saving $1888/year. Merry Christmas to us! Good thing I ran across your website today.
Tom C, AL, moving from MD to AL
My wife and I just received the informative newsletter that you sent last week. We just want to say thank you. You have been a truly great discovery for us – I’m glad we found your site online. Please keep up your fine efforts and the informative newsletters – we appreciate the information they provide and appreciate your desire to stay in touch by email!

My doctor’s fee for EACH knee was a few hundred less than $38,000 + hospital fees… PER KNEE! My Plan F covered ALL OF IT! When I tell people the story, they want to know YOU!
James M., FL, knee replacements on each knee
You have been extremely helpful. Your answers have been prompt and easy to understand, as well as complete. I own a small company and I understand the value of customer relations VERY well. I will not hesitate to recommend you to the many people that trust my opinion.

You came along at just the right time. Just when I was getting overwhelmed and confused by Medicare and Medigap, I found you and you put everything in terms I can understand. Thank you for spending so much time with me and for helping me feel good about my choices.
