Medicare Supplement Plans, also called Medigap plans, are designed to help cover some of the costs that Medicare doesn't pay. These plans are offered by private insurance companies and can help pay for things like co-pays, deductibles, and coinsurance. There are 10 different types of Medigap plans available, each with a different set of benefits.
While Medicare Supplement Plans can be a great way to help cover some of the costs not paid for by Medicare, it's important to know that these plans do not cover everything. For example, most Medigap plans do not cover long-term care, dental care, or vision care. Additionally, these plans have premiums that must be paid on top of the monthly Medicare Part B premium.

We know that Medicare can be complex. If you choose the wrong plans, supplemental insurance, or prescription coverages, then your budget or lifestyle will be affected.
If you don’t enroll at the appropriate times and in the appropriate plans, your coverage may not even exist at the right time when you need it.

Idaho’s laws and rules for Medicare Supplement policies have changed. The Idaho legislature approved legislation to provide additional options and consumer protections for Idaho seniors. The Idaho Department of Insurance (“the Department”) published a temporary rule on November 3 related to Medicare Supplement policies in accordance with Senate Bill 1143, signed by Governor Little on April 22, 2021. The rule proposed went through negotiated rulemaking as required.
The rule, IDAPA 18.04.10, was published November 3 in the Administrative Bulletin Volume 21-11, and includes two major changes effective after February 28, 2022:
The proposed rule also prohibits charging application fees, higher premium rates based on the method of payment, and other unfair trade practices.
It is important to know that current Medicare Supplement plans are guaranteed renewable, and current policies will continue unless a change is requested by the policyholder. These rule changes provide flexibility to current Medicare Supplement policyholders who wish to change their policy, but no change is required. After February 28, 2022, existing Medicare Supplement policyholders may choose to shop for comparable community-rated coverage starting the day of their birthday. Read the article here!
The basics of how Med Supp’s work… There can be a lot of confusion about the different types of Medicare insurance is when you are available and ready to retire. Let’s touch on the basics and the coverage’s that you get with them. These policies, help pay for some of the cost that you incur that your Original Medicare does not cover.
An example of what it would possibly cover is your co-payments, your deductibles, and coinsurance. Typically you would purchase a policy direct for an insurance company or an agent. The Government does not administer or sell these policies.

There are a number of great insurance companies that offer coverage in the state of Idaho. The best way to find out the best plan for you based upon your current health is to work with an agent that specializes in this type of coverage.
You have national carriers like Cigna, Aetna, Humana, Mutual of Omaha and local companies such as Blue Cross, Regence Blue Shield, Pacific Source and Select Health.
There can be new companies with different options when you are looking for a program to enroll in, but our office and staff will help you with finding the best options.

It may get very confusing when it comes to what policy should I choose when It’s time to select an option. In this article, we’ve been reviewing Medicare policies but the other option is called a Medicare Advantage. This is another way for you to get coverage when you go on Medicare. There are vast differences when it comes to the pricing and benefits of how they work. So that’s why it’s very important to make sure that you understand the differences as you review your coverage and options.

Supplemental policies work alongside your Original Medicare. You purchase this insurance through a private insurance company and basically it picks up the difference that your Medicare does not pay for. Upon approval for a Medigap plan it will be issued with a monthly premium. Remember with this type of plan the insured is still responsible for purchasing a prescription drug plan which would be a separate cost. You cannot have a supplement and Advantage plan at the same time you have to have either one or the other.
Medicare Advantage plans are administered by hmos, ppos, private fee-for-service, or special need plans or point of service. That’s the name a few but not all-inclusive every State and county is different. This could end up being a major decision for you when you’re ready to purchase a policy. You will definitely want to talk to and informed licensed agent, I prefer independent agents. Independents they can shop the market for the absolute best plan available for you. I do like supplements as you can control cost via a monthly payment but that’s my personal opinion. Advantage Plans will work better for some insureds due to their circumstances or budget.
