www.abtinsuranceagency.com | (888) 465-9728 Plan G and Plan N rate quotes: abtinsuranceagency.com/compar... Medicare Supplement Plan G and Plan N are more alike than they are different, but there are some important differences in these two Medigap Plans that you will want to consider before making your Medicare enrollment decision.
Medicare Supplement Plan G and Medicare Supplement Plan N are two popular options for individuals seeking additional coverage to supplement their Medicare benefits. While both plans offer valuable financial protection, they have distinct differences that can significantly impact your healthcare costs and coverage.
Medicare Supplement Plan G is often considered the more comprehensive option of the two. It covers nearly all the gaps left by Original Medicare, including the Part A deductible, Part B coinsurance, and excess charges. This means that once you meet the Part B deductible, you'll have minimal out-of-pocket expenses for Medicare-covered services. Plan G is especially attractive to those who want comprehensive coverage and are willing to pay slightly higher premiums to avoid unexpected medical costs.
On the other hand, Medicare Supplement Plan N offers a cost-effective alternative. While it covers most of the same expenses as Plan G, it may require copayments for some services, such as office visits and emergency room visits. Additionally, Plan N does not cover Part B excess charges, meaning you may have to pay any additional fees charged by healthcare providers who don't accept Medicare's approved amount as full payment. Plan N can be an excellent choice for individuals who are relatively healthy and want lower monthly premiums but are comfortable with some cost-sharing.
In summary, the choice between Medicare Supplement Plan G and Plan N depends on your healthcare needs and budget. Plan G provides more comprehensive coverage with fewer out-of-pocket costs, while Plan N offers cost savings through lower premiums but requires copayments and does not cover Part B excess charges.

Depending on what state you're in, there will be a pretty significant price difference that you will pay monthly for Plan G. I chose N because even If you pay office visit of $20 a month, that's only ~$240 for the year opposed to a possible $800 - $1k a year paying for the pricier G plan.

Thank you Stephanie. That was very good information. I hope the listeners will stay to the end of your video. Because the most important cost information is at the end. Case in point, my supplemental premium jumped up 50% from one year to the next. Talk about sticker shock. Fortunately I was healthy enough to pass underwriting and switched to a better company. I think this is not the case for many subscribers. Bottom line: don’t get tricked by the “lowest” first year cost! It may turn into the highest cost within a few years.

And second, I found the content you shared comparing Plan G and N very helpful. I may reconsider 12:19 my enrollment in Plan G based on the information you shared and will be calling your office Monday!

Hi Stephanie, Your video is the clearest visual explanation that I have seen! Thank you for your expertise on Medicare! I've been looking at broker videos and have seen: 1) State of Wisconsin plans are different in that a Medicare recipient can purchase which parts of the Plan G they would like. How are these plans for rate increases over time? 2) United Healthcare Plan G with AARP, and UHC without AARP; could you explain the difference between the two plans? 3) It also stated that for Wisconsin, there is ALWAYS a co pay of up to $20 for an MD and $50 for ER that is waived upon hospital admission. Could you please comment on this or do you have another video for Wisconsin Medicare? 4) For something similar would the recipient pay all three; deductible, co-pay, & the monthly premium amount ? 5) Since Wisconsin is not exactly Plan G or Plan N, how does that affect the Guarantee of Rights?

Just because you have no preexisting conditions now does not mean that you will never have any. At 65 I was fit with few medical visits and no prescription drugs. Two years later I have had melanoma and a heart diagnosis. Thankfully I have Plan G.

If you live in Washington and are still healthly HD Plan G is the only way to go. $49 per month and you can switch to another medigap plan with no trouble, like regular Plan G at 4 times the premium which makes sense for a major medical issue. Less likely to get premium increases or at least much amaller ones with HG Plan G as well.

As with many things in life, what fits your situation now may not be what fits your life in the future. I see a lot of folks pushing plan G really hard, and that is for a reason. They are compensated via commissions, and the commission is higher for a plan G. They tend to scare people with the excess charges issue to steer them to G, even though excess charges are rare and becoming more rare. Considering the higher premium for G, and the higher rate of premium increases for G, people in reasonably good health will save money with plan N. People who see many medical providers several times per year, on the other hand, might find that their total outlay per year to be lower with G. You can actually make trial calculations to see if your copays will total more than the difference in premiums between N and G. But go back to my first sentence; there is no guarantee your situation won't change. Unfortunately they still haven't invented an accurate crystal ball.

⁠Right, and the 20% is of the Medicare-approved amount up to $20. I’ve heard it would take a long time to reach the high deductible by utilizing just co-insurance for doctor visits. However, if one was hospitalized, I think we’d need to pay the Part A deductible for the hospital stay. (I had made this specific point because the Part A deductible would be a lot larger than the coinsurance for doctor visits, but the Part A deductible is of course also applied to the high deductible unless the high deductible has already been met.)

Glad to have found your videos and services! I turn 65 next year. Two questions. First, if a person begins Medicare at 65 with a Medigap plan with one company, if the person wants to stay with the same plan, but through a different company, would the person need to go through underwriting with the new company? Second, could you make a video explaining the differences and pros/cons of "attained age pricing," "community pricing," and "issue age pricing" - especially from the perspective of a new enrollee like myself? Thank you!

Plan G all the way. “N”o way to “N” Like people are going to check this N nonsense every time they go to a Dr. What I would like to know is which plan gives a higher commission to the agent? My guess is N. The insurance companies have done the math on it. Not being negative, just being realistic.

The open enrollment period of 6 months is critical. Advantage plans are an “Advantage” to insurance companies. They have done the math. G = Good, N = NOT GOOD. The reason the N plans have lower claims is because if coverage is “DENIED” , therefore no claim exists and does not count toward this nefarious statistic.

I used the VA for my surgery, not realizing that they do not use plan N If I had used my surgery by a hospital instead of the VA I would have saved over a thousand $. The VA never told me this when they asked to see my Medicare and Plan N cards. The VA never told me how their billing worked, I just assumed that they would charge Medicare and my Plan N would pay the rest. I assumed that because I was asked to see my cards and they put them in their computer system. I sure learned an expensive lesson. and will never use the VA again for surgery. hopefully, I will never have surgery again anyway. :) My co-pay at the VA for the surgery was 1500$ part N would have saved me 1244$ I was wondering why the VA did not tell me this? they knew what insurance plans I had.

Great Info, thanks! I know you are speaking specifically about the plans but you mentioned about enrolling. Yes, there is the initial enrollment period for those turning 65 and are going on Medicare but some people who are covered by an employer (with more than 20 employees) healthcare plan have a special enrollment period that works like the initial enrollment period and I believe no medical underwriting is required. I think anyone who falls under this time period can get Plan N and not have to go on Plan G. I may be wrong but that's my understanding. My wife falls under this category (under my coverage) and she should be able to get plan N as if she signed up when she turned 65.

In 2023, my Anthem BCBS monthly payment is $1592.92. I haven't canceled it yet, as I turned 65 in August, and I was waiting for my Medicare/UHC insurance to deal with the first claim before canceling. Which finally happened just a few days ago for UHC. So, I can finally cancel Anthem BCBS before October's withdrawal. What I pay for Medicare/UHC is far less than what I've been paying for many, many years for Anthem BCBS, and social security pays for the full amount, with money left over. So, I can put the full $1592.92 in a savings account for whatever needs might come up.

We have many doctor visits so G would probably be our choice. My wife is disabled, she had a treatment Medicare did not cover so we dropped Medicare in 2015. I regret we did not appeal the decision, big mistake. We are getting a second chance to get Medicare with no penalties through the new PSHB taking effect in 2025 with a SEP in April 2024. Out-of-pocket expenses have been running 7 to 8 thousand a year with BCBS Federal. Combining Medicare and BCBS Federal seems much better than Medigap but who can tell the future? I think my wife could still get Medigap under the SEP for Medicare. Any incite would be appreciated.
